Impact

This picture talks about the evolution of emotions in a human life. The innocent beauty and charm of a young woman when she is growing up, all dolled up with a beautiful smile. When she’s mature, she sees through the pain and emotions of other human-beings and develop sympathy and love towards the humankind.
