- "A Moment in Time - The Melting Hourglasses"

​​Will time stop and freeze if the symbol of time - The Hourglass- melts and its sand escape ?  

Inspired by Dali's "Persistence of Memory (1931), Shoan wonders if time will stop when its iconic symbol slowly melts away like Dali's clock in the dream wold.

​"Celebration - Hanabi - The Fireworks"

Indeed, fireworks have an enchanting way of uniting people in celebration, transcending language barriers and cultural boundaries. As the day turns into night, the anticipation builds, and a collective sense of wonder fills the air. So let us revel in the magic of fireworks, for they are the universal language of celebration. With each dazzling burst, they kindle a sense of wonder and remind us that, despite our differences, we are bound together by our shared human experience.
