Frame within a frame within a frame

cizucu Editorial Team
A photo centered on a magnifying glass. The lens of the magnifying glass acts as a frame, with a window-like frame within it, and beyond that, another world unfolds. The layered expression from the foremost frame in the photo creates depth and intrigue.

Cherry blossoms bloom in Thailand too

cizucu Editorial Team
A photo of cherry blossoms taken in Thailand. Captured from inside a house, the beautiful nature framed by a window and the calming pink flowers create a sense of unity, yet the frame effectively separates two elements inside and outside.

Hie Shrine

A photo taken from the entrance of a shrine, capturing the precincts. The low brightness naturally conveys a sense of solemnity. Culturally, the inside and outside of this gate hold different meanings, even though both are outdoors, serving to culturally separate inside and outside.
