1. The Light of Life
2 years ago
Life is transparent, warm and swirls randomly like a soft light. And it constantly changes...
Life illuminates itself and then it begins to illuminates a new life.
A sprouted mass of innumerable lights become a flow before long, and then become the part of the life-throb of ages.
That ties life, this moment now.

    Great work, felt the light, birth, joining with universal energy... Just ending did not capture the human force. Agree that maybe real model at end would leave audience breathless and joined in the light of life.
