The Times

By Chan Ying Sum

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The passage of time brings the feeling of helplessness, so one needs to cherish time more whilst also striving to move forward.
The ruthless passage of time may render us powerless, but with our efforts we can strive to overcome it. Precious gems can emerge from even the most hardest of stones which shows its triumph over time. This statement reminds us to cherish time, to improve, and to maintain a humble attitude.

PROJECT CONCEPT

The most dreadful sensation is the belief that time is always insufficient, accompanied by fleeting moments of helplessness. In uncontrollable circumstances, the only variable we can change or control is one's self. Surviving in high-pressure environments can transform one’s self into a gem, gradually growing from a diminutive jade fragment into a complete jade, existing within stone crevices.
