Description

The meaning of life, the meaning of work, and the meaning of existence may be propositions that everyone will think about once in a while. The word "meaning" may make people doubt everything around them. When life becomes meaningless, why do people live? When put in the modern context, all meanings, nihil. And human behavior under social norms, uniform. Human beings are stripped of "self" and "non-self", as if people are living for the sake of society. "Through the Looking Glass" explore the meaning of design and life itself. If people are absurd, why do people exist? If design is not meant as path to eternality, then why design? Design is to let one to feel the flow of time through objects. Thus, one can appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the moment, and regain the passion for the simple gifts of life.
