On July 26, 2023, there was an incident where David Grusch, a former Air Force officer and a ex-operative of the U.S. intelligence agency, blew the whistle during a congressional hearing, stating that the U.S. government is recovering debris from UFOs and alien bodies for research.
As someone with a keen interest in science and space, I came across the following photo and it immediately reminded me of the recent congressional hearing in the United States. I found myself pondering questions like how the photo was taken and why it was necessary. It brought back memories of my childhood when I used to imagine scenarios like this. I wondered if directors or writers of science fiction movies or novels draw inspiration from real encounters or trustworthy agents when crafting stories about extraterrestrial beings. With the desire to explore the possibility of finding clues related to extraterrestrial beings in the midst of numerous photos, I selected seven images.

Have you ever experienced that feeling? It's as if I'm not myself. I've been in this place all along, but everything, except for my soul, seems to be changing. Lately, I often feel the presence of an alien version of myself, not quite the person I recognize.
The pictures I selected embody my current internal confusion, the process of seeking reasons behind it, and contemplation on how to address it. It's a reflection of a very straightforward flow of consciousness.
I've been contemplating about aging. The emergence of white hair, the loss of the freedom I once had, and the burden of a life not entirely of my making - all of these contribute to what feels like aging for me.
It seems like, at the very beginning, I tried to distance myself from everything that caused confusion in me. I reflect on what made me happiest, what I enjoyed the most, and what truly made me feel free. However, even in those thoughts, the ultimate focus returns to my present self. Eventually, having come full circle, I wonder, how should I proceed from here? The answer is simple. I need to do something, anything. I may be experiencing confusion, but I won't give up on life. So, in my own way, I am determined to find answers. I seek hints from my family, and I make resolutions to myself that are more than vague commitments.
Regardless of the resolution of my concerns, as I looked from the outside, I somehow tried to create a cohesive narrative with the seven chosen pictures. It was very simple but contained a logical structure, and I added a bit of a narrative. I think I was selecting and stacking the format, painting the content one photo at a time, aiming to capture my story.
