relationships can be complicated

every time i see multiple tendrils twining around each other, i think they look like metaphors for human relationships. often you have a stronger, older, vine supporting a younger vine. sometimes you see two vines whose spirals are so intertwined that they look like one single vine. in this case, we have two vines of equal strength, who seemed to have met each other in mid-life, and each is trying to figure out a way to be in relationship without losing their own identity, and the result is complicated and messy. but still beautiful.
