paying respects
Materials: iPhone, incense, light, incense holder
Idea: I chose to photograph a picture of incense being burned because in some Asian cultures it is usually used as aromatherapy, but it is also used in different religions and ceremonies. At my grandmother's place, we have an altar to respect our deceased loved ones, and every time we visit we always light incense as a sign of respect.
Process: In order to take this photo I lit an incense and captured this on my iPhone camera. The incense symbolizes respect and connects to the idea of honoring those before us.
