Blue-Eyed Creature

Ricardo Cuéllar

Emerging silently from the river, a man’s head rises just above the surface—his piercing blue eyes lock with the viewer, mysterious and ancient, like a myth surfacing in the modern world.
The river mirrors him, but doesn’t reveal him. His eyes calming but his reflection haunting, as if carrying the weight of untold stories beneath the surface, reminding us that not everything that rises from the deep wishes to be known. Some truths, like water, can only be reflected.
