The title of this project is “Amplification of Time”. This series will explore the changes that occur in our world and within ourselves as time moves forward. The societal issue that I want to explore with my photographs is our relationship with time — how we see it and how it influences us. People are constantly under pressure to move fast under today’s high-paced environment. Through this project, I hope to provide a reflective pause, encouraging viewers to consider the beauty of time.

I want my audience to feel a deep sense of reflection as they examine their own lives and surroundings. My intention is that my work will elicit feelings of nostalgia and serenity as viewers are reminded of the fleeting nature of all things. I want to visually show the idea of time’s quiet yet profound presence by using techniques like long exposure and decaying settings. A key component of my work will be long exposure photography, which enables me to capture quick action in a single frame. I will also experiment with multiple exposures and layering techniques to create a visual metaphor for memory by blending moments together as they overlap in our minds.

I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking at the work of famous photographers who have studied time and how it affects the world. For example, Edward Muybridge, who captures actions of movements, creating sets of photographs of a magnified movement. And Michael Wesely, who uses months-long exposures to capture the protracted time. Their unique use of time as both a topic and a tool in photography that inspired me and helped me to achieve this goal.

Through this project, I will reflect on the idea of how time passes quickly. My aim is to create a dialogue with the audience, inviting them to think about their own experiences with time, and how it affects their lives. I aim to engage my audience in a meaningful exploration of time’s effects on both the physical and emotional aspects of life.
