The brief was to create an image that depicted someone feeling at peace in a calm place. The final illustration shows a man sitting calmly on a park bench, quietly observing the falling leaves, free of stress. The leaves are symbolic of change and impermanence, a fundamental lesson and teaching within meditation. A soft halo glows behind the figure's head to suggest spiritual growth and insight.
