Description

“There are moments when it feels like waking up from chaos, — Richard Wu says. — Some people describe it as being sensible and mature. The ancients said that it is the third year of life, or awakening and enlightenment. It seems that you suddenly understood something, and your body feels chilled by it. You are talking to yourself, telling yourself, oh, I finally understand. Understand the rules of all things, understand the relationship between people, understand the laws of social operation, and understand what love is. It is not an exaggeration to compare it to nirvana and rebirth, it is the metamorphosis of an insect, because from that moment on, you are different from the person you were in countless days and nights before. Although the appearance remains the same, everything is actually different».

Metaphor to this metamorphosis is a titanium caterpillar in golden larva. Caterpillar prepares to change from a complete but fragile cocoon to another form. The beauty of this moment is captured for the eternity.
