The idea is to show how much our perception of time depends on things surrounding us. Is there anything timeless, but the feelings we have? Is there any sense of time at all?
We tried to find out what the modern outfit would look like when put in a scenery of past. Can there be any harmony? And to show that the only thing going through time is the emotion.
