The image is a two-panel meme that humorously references Descartes' famous philosophical statement "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am). 

In the top panel:
- There are three individuals in an outdoor setting with tall grass and wildflowers. 
- The person on the left appears to be wearing dark clothing.
- The individual in the middle is dressed in a light-colored outfit that seems to have some form of head covering or hair accessory.
- The person on the right has their back turned, making it difficult to discern details about their appearance.

In the bottom panel:
- A single character with an intense expression is shown. This character's face appears to be in shadow, and they are wearing dark clothing that blends into a fiery background, suggesting a dramatic or intense scene.
- The text "Descartes" is superimposed on this image, indicating that it represents the philosopher René Descartes.

The meme plays with the idea of Descartes' statement by contrasting the calm outdoor setting in the top panel with the fiery and dramatic bottom panel.
