Réseaux entremêlés
Liaisons anarchiques en quête de sens,
Déracinés,
Nos différences nous rapprochent,
Le choc de l'instantanéité nous excite,
La perte de l'identité nous effraie mais,
La Joie la joie nous submerge dans cette communion

Most of the Myanmar people are Buddhist. They believed in Buddha. In every year have lighting festival for Buddha, we called it Thidingyut festival. This festival was held in every where of our country in the October before and after of full moon day. During this festival we lighting on trees, front of the houses, on the road in every town just like Christmas. But in the villages, villagers are making hand made toys for lighting with candle. At the pagodas, lighting with candles and electric bulbs are every where. Some people are doing floating candle in the river. Monks and Myanmar peoples are not going travel for four months, that means to hibernate in the rainy season. After this season gone they held this festival. During this festival, elderly people are going to the monastery for take meditation and worship to Buddha. Young people are playing with fire cracker in everywhere. In the Shan state, during the lighting festival people are making different shape of flying balloons and doing competition for distance and longer.

The Image Six. Hmmmm... Colourful bulbs... inspite of vivid colors, i don't like the way these bulbs are inter-curled. Maybe they are installed in some turture-room, where poor people are forced to stare at them all the time?! It gives me a feeling of dizziness.

This image of party lights represents an ongoing party for me, the lamps look like the guests of the party, they are full of energy, they interfere with each other, have a chat, dance together, kiss and flirt. The light expresses an erotic feeling. It reminds me of the parties where I used to go when I was 16 years old. We were sort of a clique, 15 youngsters going through the tough times of puberty and becoming adults. We were very close. The cables connecting the light bulbs represent the connections that we had as a peer of young people. I always look back to these times and have to smile.

This picture did not ring any bells once looked at. I looked at it twice and still nothing. But after staring at it for like two minutes I decided it reminded me of ABBA Dancing Queen. I think the connection there is that it had something to do with the disco swingers era. Maybe (I was too young to know).

It brings me an idea of family and popular party because in Colombian's celebrations are used lights like those. I remember nice moments full of happiness and the live celebration.

The nightclub. Light ball. Mix colour! Feel hot and cold at same time.

This image makes me think of some celebrations as the bonds and the colored bulbs. Or maybe it is an art work.

It reminds me about night life because I used to see these lights in nightclubs and some restaurants. In my country always been used to get attention. Business owners use these multicolour lights to design their new shop so it can attract the customers. During my stay in Australia I have seen people design their charismas tree with these lights. It's very attractive and it present happiness.

When I see this picture it reminds me of my home stay mother, when I was in Adelaide . She likes to put these lights on the Christmas tree, me and all the boys help her to decorate the Christmas tree. It also reminds me of the time in New Year's Eve, where some people might put these lights in front of their house. Seeing this picture makes me feel that I want to be at home with my family, when all the members in the family get together to celebrate New Year's Eve.

This image represents Christmas in my head, because all the lights that being displayed reminds me of Christmas tree decoration. The Western/American culture that were brought in mass media through television, cinema, magazine, etc brings Christmas things in my mind.

Lights up the spirit of the World
Rekindles the dying flame of love
Families are reunited, senses are ignited
Emotional contentment, Spiritual upliftment
Memories are made of this
Calendars are marked for this
Its a celebration of a new life, a new beginning,
The Genesis of all things beautiful.

This image remind me of my past in Germany when I was young. It looks like a light decoration on the Christmas tree. I remember that me and my mom had a Christmas tree with lots of presents placing around the tree in our apartment. It was one of my best memories in my life. The red lights sort of making me see as a lipstick. It would be something to do with the nightclubs because of this image appears to me as some sort of flashing lights in the club. I would probably say that Fullmoon Party ( Thailand ) the one that this image has reminded me of. Because, the party was on the beach and there was also one small stage that has all the lights flashing during the party. The stage is sort of important to me at that moment because, I really felt like I had to be up there and dance with people from all around the world with my favourite type of music that was playing.

In this picture I am feeling an atmosphere is bustling with noise and excitement and also feeling enthusiasm. The little flash in the light bulb to give this picture vigorous. The electric wire at the center make the picture two piece, left red and another half in white, so they have a contrast.

The initial one you sent had an aura of sensuality. It brought about a theme of sex due to the red colour as well as the light. One can also read an indication of partying, drinking and recreational sex.

The lights are so bright
They hurt my eyes
But still they bring joy to my life
The promise of hope for tomorrow
I wish it could last forever
But unfortunately its only once a year
I get such joy
From seeing those lights
So bright that they hurt my eyes

This photo is confusing for me, I feel it doesn't fit with the other photos, I didn't like it, it's distracting me, if I have the choice I would hide the green lights, and also the red one in the middle right, I might keep the blue, but this is the first image I felt that I have to change. After a second look, I might leave the green light in the middle right, am not trying to make it looks nice, no, but it's really distracting me.

The image reminds me of Christmas season, Christmas trees and the entire glittery decorative lights hang all over the house. Christmas carols are ringing in my head and I could picture the choir going around the neighborhood singing Christmas carols. Festive celebration aside, the colorful light bulbs to me represents happiness and the light itself gives me a sense of hope. The image on the whole if viewed in an abstract way seems to represent life. I see entangled wires in the picture which could represent hardship, challenges and obstacles in life. However, life is still filled with hope and the challenges are just parts and parcels in life.

There is number of bulbs in various colours. Seems like these bulbs are very new. But the thing is that power, wires and light is not well enough. Only the fancy and good looking. But the outcome is low. The idea is that colourfulness and number of items are not only support for the outcome and to the vision.
