In this photo illustration, a colorful signpost stands rooted in the sand of a shoreline, pointing to faraway cities across oceans and continents. Each hand-painted arrow evokes dreams of movement, connection, and discovery. Positioned at the edge of land and sea, it becomes more than a guide—it symbolizes the endless possibilities of departure and return. It marks a place where journeys begin, conclude, or simply pause—reminding us that every destination is both an ending and a new beginning.
