The Power of Time

Have you ever looked at something and noticed how much it has changed? Noticed how much time has passed by but with no awareness? Asked where all this time has gone? This is happens because we do not appreciate or notice the changes that happen around us as time passes by. Using photography, drawing and sequencing, I explore the concept of passage of time for my thesis project. I inspect both linear time and cycle time to highlight these changes that we miss and to show the beauty in them.
