Abstract

Photography is an art that can be used as a tool to express emotions, thoughts and
feelings as if it were a universal language. This series of photographs is therefore a design of a
series of photographs to reflect the life style of humans in today's society, incorporating the
Tilakkhana of concepts of "Aniccata, Dukkhata, Anatta", arising, staying and passing away. It is
a science and dharma about the Tilakkhana through works of art, as well as reflecting the life
style of today's humans who live in a hurry, thinking only about their goals until sometimes
forgetting to think about the present, people around them, and various risks such as illnesses,
accidents that It might happen unexpectedly.
Therefore, the creator present this whole idea through 10 photos of fungal growth and
decomposition of hamburgers each day over a 20-day period to show the pattern of fungal
growth and dissemination increasing from The hamburger being decomposed every day to
remind fellow human beings to live consciously and live in the present by comparing human
life today to fast food such as hamburgers. And the mold that decomposes the hamburger
over time is a sign of the uncertainty of the Tilakkhana of life.
