Swallowing the Desert

Created for the Higgsfield AI Competition. What if pain doesn’t come from the outside, but from what we choose to take inside? This work explores the process of internalizing emotional distance. The cactus becomes a symbol of cold resilience, of people who survive by staying untouchable. The act of consuming it is a metaphor for identification with what wounds us. A reflection on adaptation, and the quiet moment it begins to reshape who we are.
