"What is Time" is inspired by the Buddhism theory of Impermanence. Using two strong elements in the Buddhism context, the candle and lotus, I photographed them at different stages of their life to show the contrast of Impermanence in each element.
At the prime stage of their life, the candles shone brightly while the lotus is still a small bud.
Slowly, the candles start to melt as time goes by. The lotus, on the other hand, slowly starts to bloom.
Finally when the candles died away, the lotus reached its full bloom, the prime stage of its life.
