ID 76 Where Paths Diverge
This set explores the pivotal moment of choosing between two distinct paths: the conventional life of working for others, represented by the hard hat, and the journey of building my own brand and creative business on my terms, symbolized by the freedom of being topless (with partial nip-slips). Inspired by Frost’s “The Road Not Taken.”
Two paths diverged before my view,
One with a hard hat, structured, plain,
The other bare, with skies more blue—
I stood and saw my future’s frame,
And knew I couldn’t follow both through.
The hard hat spoke of others’ plans,
Of working hands in tasks not mine,
Of rules and schedules, someone else’s demands,
A life well-built, but less divine—
Where I would follow, not command.
But topless, I stood tall and free,
To build my brand, my voice, my art—
To pave a road for only me,
Where every piece would bear my heart—
Where I would lead, unbound, carefree.
And one day I’ll look back and smile,
At that decision, strong and clear—
Two paths diverged, and all the while,
I chose the one without denial,
And that has made my future here.
