Can one see time?


During the Halloween, no one could miss out the Jacko Lantern and the fun in making one of it. It's a craft no doubt. But I call it---- the form of time.
First, it symbolises a festival near the end of the year. Second, one has to know when is the right time to make it. Third, it changes everyday (after its creation). Fourth, one needs to photo it everyday to document the changes.
Jacko is bright for only one day. It is not a ceramic work that can last. And so, the form degrades very fast. Jacko can only tell the time for six days and by the seventh, it collapses into a pool of yellow paste.
So, can you see what I see? Do I kill your romance with Halloween? Pardon me if I do.
