When I was 13 years old, there was a month I suffered so much. As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see my past life. From then on, I kept asking myself, “after we die, after our body disappears, will our soul still exist?
After billions of years, when humans no longer exist, and the text is not meaningful anymore, the sound of 'om' still exists as it is the ever existed sound along with the universe.
When the text 'om' on the salt dissolves and disappears, we still remember the meaning behind it.
When the salt brick disappears with the character 'om,' we can still write 'om' in other places, on the wall, on the ground, and every corner of the world.
After 576000 seconds, the solution saturated, dissolving discontinued and the scene paused like this.

在印度教，佛教，耆那教中部分经文的开头出现，“om”代表着究竟的真相，代表世界万物的最高理性，是最终现实，意识或阿特曼（自我）的本质。
一切抽象的概念需要一个载体。然而宇宙原音“om“及它所代表的一切意象，都不会因为“om”这个字表象的消失而消失。
盐是人类生命的必需品，也是人类交易史上不可或缺的一部分。盐带着“om”随着时间消失在水中。正如一切“相”（可被理解成我们暂时可以感受到的物体）都一定会随着时间而消失一样，这一块喜马拉雅盐在576000秒之后完全融化于水中。
因此，我们也许有能力摧毁那些代表着传统的表象符号，使它终结于此，不得延续。但实则，我们能用冷漠来摧毁它的也不过只是表现形式而已。在它的躯壳背后，它产生的意义将永远存在。
