The abandoned auditorium symbolizes the passage of time and the temporary nature of human activities, reflecting the fragility of existence and the impermanence of history. Through the aesthetics of ruins, we can see the decay and fading of materiality, but at the same time, we can also feel a sense of serenity and contemplation, as if time has stopped here. Philosophically, such scenes provoke us to think about nihilism: human achievements, collective memories and social structures will eventually return to dust.
