The photos as well as the idea came from Bruce Song, a local photographer born in Yunnan. He allowed these young people to wear special makeup that made their faces appear dry and wrinkled, and recorded their first responses to the "new look".

In this way, the exhibition offers audiences an opportunity to observe the passing of time as they imagine and reflect on aging.
