6.“Invictus” by William Ernest Henley
William Ernest Henley
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

The Quick-Witted Hero
After a long day of intense labor under the scorching sun, Adnan finally got a short break for lunch. His throat was dry from hunger and thirst, and his body felt exhausted. Adnan worked as a security guard in a large company, a job that demanded not only physical endurance but constant mental alertness. Standing for hours in extreme heat, watching every movement around him, and staying vigilant at all times was not an easy task. Even a moment of negligence in such a job could turn into lifelong regret.

Ida Shaghoian and the Landscapes of Inner Light
In an era when much contemporary art favors immediacy and bold declaration, Ida Shaghoian offers something quieter and more inward. Her paintings invite viewers into spaces shaped by feeling rather than fact, where light, color, and texture operate as emotional language. Landscapes appear, but they are not destinations. They function instead as vessels for reflection, carrying traces of memory, stillness, and transition. Through abstraction softened by suggestion, her work opens a contemplative dialogue between the external world and the internal self.
