The transitory nature of time

I experimented with this model of sequent snapshots, multiple images stitched together to create an overarching view of each walk in the park and layered to indicate a shift in time. I took these detailed shots of the space-time cube further, by assembling the images into layers, creating large-scale, rectangular, vertical digital prints, still representative of the form of the space-time cube. Each photographic layer varying in height, represented snippets of time, with a subtle shift from one image to the next. The layers are all of the same walk but show a different angle or perspective, representing a momentary lapse in time or break in the walk as the final composition moves from one image layer to the next, never a single continuous image. The subtlety of the shifting layers was reminiscent of the walk itself, where I was not acutely aware of the physical time, but more the experience of the walk as a whole. I kept the height of the prints identical to reflect that each walk was the same contained walk, always starting and ending at the same point, and it was through the subtle shift of layers and change of perspective that I chose to convey how time was perceived in an experiential sense and not a literal one
