Title: A Light out of Darkness
Caption: This is a picture of the moon in the nightsky. If the nightsky represents darkness and difficulty in any part of our life, then the moon must represent ray of hope in the form of our friends and families. The moon radiates light from the sun, so that even at night, without un-natural light (streetlamps etc), we can find our way around. This is like in life, in times when we are down and out, we have a ray of light, a form of hope in friends and families that will always be there for us. Even when we cant see the moon, we know that the moon is there. Likewise, in any times of trouble and peril, we can count on and trust that our friends and families will be there for us, anytime, anywhere.

Title: Delicate Touch
Caption: Nature is the world’s true beauty. The greenery around us moulds a calm and serene environment for us and is one of the essential factors to ensure our survival on Earth. However, at times, we lack the appreciation for such beauty and take it for granted. In this photo, I would like to showcase how a simple gesture of touching the smooth, tender leaf of a plant can depict our concern and love for the greenery. We should learn to appreciate the flora around us and realize its significance in our lives.

Title: Inevitability
Caption: This photo depicts the temporal and transcient nature of life. As Shakespeare said ‘beauty’s a flower’, what is good may not last for eternity. With each passing second, time slips beyond our clutches. Youth and beauty fade away, leaving but an empty wilted skeleton. Pity and inevitability overwhelms us. Yet, we are powerless in face of nature.

Title: Insecurity
Caption: This picture is taken through a peephole and shows the insecurity of people. Personally, this is a type of sense, whereby people do not feel assured. This in turn causes anxiety and panic, which are emotional senses. This also tells us that very often, it is ourselves we give ourselves this feeling of being uncertain. I think that this is all about senses – the feeling towards something, be it sight, hearing, touch, taste or smell. In this photograph, it exhibits the sense of insecurity.
