This are some great pictures, gives me some 80s movies vibes, from the colors to the angles and the scenario helps a lot, great metaphor about how the similarities that live, a candle and a star might have, never thought about it in that way ✌️

Good to see someone noticed. 🙂 I liked the building, it really feels old and looks being kept in order by old people, and a drop of poverty too there. I didn't want this feeling to drown in red and gold Chinese altars so I avoided them completely (although they are not that completely standard there) and focused on details and the past. I also added a drop of green and purple in most pictures + slightly faded the highlights and shadows to put the vibes of the old times into the foreground.
When people composed most candle metaphors, the candle was a part of everyday life. A candle actually meant such a practical thing as a lamp. What is the candle nowadays? Something from poetry or religion or the closet (for a case of blackout). Probably, the star is closer as a term to modern life... Perhaps.
Thank you!
