Firefly, May Fly and Second
When I saw a nature program about may fly’s life-they live one day, mating and die-I wanted to express the short lived, fleeting yet beautiful life.
Among these three series, Firefly and May Fly’s numbers are based on their life span (Firefly lives an average of 2-3 weeks and may fly lives one day) counted in seconds.
The Second indicates different endangered species’ average life span which counted in seconds.
