"Become who you are." - Friedrich Nietzsche
a black panther confidently traverses a city street at dawn, symbolizing a break away from societal expectations and conformity. In "The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images" the panther is described as a symbol of transformation and rebirth. It is associated with the Jungian shadow archetype and the need to confront and integrate hidden aspects of the self.
The turned backs of the people signify their dismissal of unconventional choices, highlighting the isolation that can accompany personal growth and liberation.
The setting of dawn signifies a new day and a new beginning for the subject as they forge a unique path doing their own thing.
Ultimately "Escape" is about breaking free from the heard and leaving behind societal norms and realising your true potential and power.
