Smoking in the snow could be considered a form of meditation for inner peace. Your mind and body take a break from overthinking and stressing about everyday life. You live in the “now” and you begin practicing “mindfulness”.

The chill of the snow combined with the warmth from a cigarette gives me a comforting feeling. Smoking in the snow also has a calm effect and can aid in problem-solving. With a calm mind, one can find better and simpler solutions.

With this in mind, I tried to create a self-portrait of me smoking in the snow. It is said that a picture is worth more than 1,000 words. I hope I managed to express these feelings through a single picture.
