The image projected within the open suitcase and the setting of the camera taking a picture of the suitcase illustrates a moment of transition. The transition might be that of relocation and the struggles of adapting oneself to a new environment. Or, it can be that of the time travel from one moment to another that everyone takes. In this piece, taking a photo suggests one’s desire and attempt to bring it to a halt and reflect on the self in the flow of time, which is essentially impossible.
