Process & Narrative
As Time Passes explores those moments in time—whether fleeting or significant—that we often find ourselves stuck in, while time continues on unknowingly. It’s a feeling you can sense when you look up at the sky. The project aims to evoke a sense of mortality, confronting the possibility of an end and death, while acknowledging that time itself is a force that continues beyond us.
I wanted to connect humanity and the environment through generations, using archival photography alongside a short video of the sky. The process involved selecting portraits, either from photo shoots or family albums, and experimenting with double exposure to add an eerie, layered effect. I filmed the sky from my balcony, capturing the clouds in videos lasting anywhere from thirty seconds to ten minutes.
As Time Passes was intended to be shown at Borough Road Gallery, where the scale of the projection would suit the intimate, community-focused space. I envisioned the exhibit as a private, reflective moment for the viewer. Unfortunately, COVID restrictions prevented the exhibition from taking place, but my goal remains: to create an atmosphere where time feels present, inviting the viewer to reflect on the space between life and death.
