When everything no longer goes forward, all we need is waiting.In a time of image explosion, people are influenced by images. What images bring to us evenchanged our life style and attitude.

You are just like a transient guest in the journey, opening your own memory. The role people act themselves with no dialogue. “Waiting” is the only thing that becomes possible in this fictitious space.
