    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Special Effects

The series focuses on the historical windows photographed at the 120-year-old Concubine Lanes in my country. I used the concept of the cracked, burnt, disintegrating windows to convey the fact that history of famous places are being gradually forgotten as modernization happens. The Concubine Lanes are the most famous lanes in Ipoh. 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 forgotten, and how good it is if we can remember those histories that have made these places beautiful, isn't it?
