 This is a shot through a window of a vault in a cemetery.
( One can see the "decedés" inscription, which means "deceased" in french" )

I was willing to show what might be the last fugitive memory of a human being just before he dies.
The bright part are here to show that the memory is being forgotten, and maybe to evoque the tunnel of the death ...

I hope this idea is well represented in this photography ...

The title says glass, but I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at here.

I think this photo looks a bit too over-processed. I'm curious which editing steps you've used!

I'll take your word for it that it's glass, but hard to tell from the picture itself.

I look at this completely baffled. It is either great or terrible, and I think I'll err in your favor.

Confusing, but good.

I think the effect you were going for was lost on me. I'm sorry, I don't really understand this image.
