II. Steps Through History II

In "Steps Through History II," the tunnel becomes a metaphor for life’s journey—each step forward is a bridge between the past and present. The long exposure technique captures motion and stillness, creating a surreal contrast of blurred and sharp elements, as if history is moving around us. The puddles, reflecting the tunnel's walls and the figure, mirror the passage of time, while sepia and silver tones enhance the feeling of stepping into a different era. "Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend," said Theophrastus, and this series visually reflects time's fleeting yet enduring nature.
