The Fallen Frame
Why?
“It's funny, but certain faces seem to go in and out of style. You look at old photographs and everybody has a certain look to them, almost as if they're related. Look at pictures from ten years later and you can see that there's a new kind of face starting to predominate, and that the old faces are fading away and vanishing, never to be seen again.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen
''The Fallen Frame'' is a phrase of William's vision whereby old pictures held many past memories are not being appreciated by the youth generation today other than being oddly framed.
While the world is still constantly changing, human culture changes too, we might not able to emphasize those precious memories our elders once kept in order to pass down to us if we continuously keep this attitude marching on and taking it for granted, so be the CHANGE!
