Show description:
I created this series from a dream. In this dream there was a woman walking through a Sahara. She came upon a cliffs edge and tumbled down. As the woman fell and rolled the sides of the cliff face began to take shape and she noticed they were sandcastle homes.
As the woman fell she became smaller and smaller. When she reached the bottom, the woman laid on her belly, face in her hands, and watched the lives of the people living in the sandcastle homes go by.
I wanted to create a series that represented this dream. I needed to bring it into this world in a physical form, therefore I made this show, Passing Through Time.
To dream of sand represents time, or that the dreamer is allowing time to pass them by. When thinking of sand we often think about the image of sand slipping through your fingers.
Time and life are like sand, it can slip through our fingers faster then you might expect. I wanted this series to represent that. To remind us that though life goes by fast and can be rocky or tumultuous, to remember to hold onto those bits that make our lives colorful and exciting. To remind us to not allow our time to slip idly though our fingers, but to grasp it, hold onto it and make something beautiful out of it.
