It's time for another round of Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). This week I wanted to share my complimentary collage I enjoyed creating. My overall theme was "happy feelings in duality." No matter what situations arise out of the sphere of your control, you have to look internally and find your inner peace. You may deal with two faces. One shown to the world, and one that holds and secured your inner peace.
To create the setting, I started with the photograph provided by in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 138 - ✨297 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

Duality
Serenity is at the heart of being happy. Two faces everyone has, an internal face self, and an external face that's shown to the world. They both are connected. Today, arthritis in my knees, shoulders, back, and everywhere else I can think of plagued me. It certainly felt like I was being split into...an inner calm self, and an outer chaotic self. Sometimes, the two just don't reconcile. There's always tomorrow to look forward to. I put on a smiling face and keep going.
To compile this collage, I uploaded all images into Canva to take advantage of my Annual Pro Membership Subscription. The free image for the man's face was an excellent discovery to portray a dual image. I wanted to include two different facial features. One calm and at rest; the other, warm and hurting. They blended together nicely.
The LIL images by ,
and other members were perfect for blending together to create the scene. The sky portion of the contest photo was used solely to portray the mind's essence hanging in the balance by unknown forces.
