ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The conceptual photograph is one of the many historical windows photographed in a famous tourist site – the 120-year-old Concubine Lanes – in my country, Malaysia. I used the concept of such cracked, burnt, disintegrating window to convey the concept that the traditional values of famous places are wearing off, and it is saddening to see their history being gradually forgotten as modernization transpires. The Concubine Lanes are the most famous lanes in Ipoh town. Many local and international tourists fancy this place, and this place is full of such historical windows. When I clicked the shutter button, the intention in my mind is to deliver the eloquent message that many traditions and histories of places are being consigned to oblivion, and how good it is if we can remember those histories that have made these places beautiful, isn’t it? Let’s preserve the cultures, and we can make them eternal.
