Concept:
Under the great pressure of the social life, every young people that have just entered the society will inevitably face much trouble in the struggling process, all of which will make people’s life increasingly disorder, have increasingly dim hope for the future and eventually lose their ambitions. At this time, many people start to have fantasies: Will life restore its quietness if the time goes back?
Inspiration:
After many senior students that I am on good terms with enter the society, the excessive complexity of the society makes them suffer emotional failure and have broken expectations. They become moody and thus make various mistakes. Moreover, they no longer fancy about the life in the future. When they were chatting with me, I could feel their helplessness towards life, which also made me extremely sad. However, they also trigger me to think about what an image I will have in the future. I decided to take such social pressure as the theme and express the problems encountered by senior students through images. I also imagined the scene when all problems and pressure disappear as time passes.
Creating Thinking:
The shoot of dripping water in the former part represents the person’s impatience when the traffic is heavy on people’s commuting path, while roses and chocolate represent failed emotional relations; the broken bottle represents the breaking-down of hope.
