Original artwork, not a still
Life is cruel. Of this I have no doubt. One can only hope that one leaves behind a lasting legacy. But so often, the legacies we leave behind... are not the ones we intended.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Myrrah considers the gap between the legacy someone wants and the consequences they leave behind. Her reflection makes endurance no guarantee of a worthy outcome. The sombre account of cruelty gives the hope of being remembered a darker, less controllable side.
