The Passage of Time

One thing we never get back is time, we can't hold on to it, we can't make more of it, and yet it still dictates almost all of our activities while we're alive. Art is something that captures the essence of time and how time relates to the manner in which we live our life. With the increased availability of  cameras on our phone we have become a generation starkly aware that life is only a future memory and to relive the precious moments in our life, we need to find a way to capture them, through photographs, paintings, etc. Stewart (2012) describes art as a component in artwork, "while it is easy to overlook a force that we cannot see, the effects of time are critically important in all areas of art and design".
