Black-and-White Split Screen: Philosophical Reflections on the Self Between Past and Future

Description

This black-and-white image adopts a left-right split-screen composition: the left side features a black background with white text “PAST”, while the right side corresponds to “FUTURE”. In the middle, the same figure (or the self at different stages) gently covers the left and right cheeks with both hands, exposing only one deep eye whose gaze pierces through the gaps between the fingers, conveying the tension of scrutiny and contemplation. The strong black-and-white contrast creates a calm and mysterious atmosphere. Combined with text and body language, it implicitly echoes the deep reflections on self-cognition, the passage of time, accepting the past and facing the future in psychology and philosophy. It seems to explore how people handle the relationship between memories and expectations in the dimension of time, presenting an existentialist reflective image that combines the visual impact of art photography with ideological depth.
