With hope

When I am faced with such a difficult situation, I feel my inability to do anything about it.

As the least I could do, I went into the darkroom and exposed fifty sheets of paper with a wish to show my heartfelt gratitude and respect to the medical workers.

This COVID-19 can be taken as a warning from the natural world to humanity.

People living in civilization should take this opportunity to stop and reconsider their relationship with nature and the world in the future.

With bright hope.
