In an aquarium lives a family of goldfish, a mother who cares for almost ten children. They all lived their days happily, playing, chasing each other, what a beautiful sight. Even though the Aquarium only measures 30x20 cm. isn't that a very narrow size if we compare it to the vast size of the sea?

I saw several goldfish swimming around a small rock formed by the owner of the aquarium, occasionally they entered the hole in the coral ring. They repeated the scene several times as if they were on a picnic to a beautiful place at the end of the world. In fact, the poor goldfish were circling the same place, going through the same path, returning to their original place, they should be so bored of living in that narrow place.

Research says that a goldfish's memory only lasts 5 seconds, after that they no longer remember what they went through 5 seconds ago. This is what causes the goldfish to enjoy life happily in a small aquarium.

Sometimes I think, what if the two people I'm photographing also have weak memories like goldfish in an aquarium. That's very sad friend, a mother and child will forget each other in just 5 seconds. A child who was joking with his mother, suddenly within 5 seconds, he no longer recognized the woman in front of him.

"Who are you? Asked a child to his mother.

"I'm your mother, daughter," answered the mother.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I just made a mistake."

5 seconds later, the mother who was suffering from forgetting,

"Well, who are you?" The woman asked her daughter.

"I am the son of a goldfish," answered the girl.
