Present an image divided into two distinct halves, representing the extremes of the 23-year-old's journey:

Left Side (Shadow Part):

Dark, shadowy background, perhaps with shadows cast from playing cards and dice.
A symbolic image of a 23-year-old looking at his cracked laptop screen, his empty eyes reflecting the decay of his choices.


Right Side (Illuminated Part):

Lighter background, with golden and soft tones.
Depiction of 23-year-old rediscovering true wealth: a simple scene of shared meals, laughter and genuine connections with friends and family.
Include elements like a paintbrush, a blank canvas, and perhaps a smiling child to emphasize the value of simple experiences and the journey of rebuilding.
