Weight of Time is a visualisation of my appreciation and upon the wisdom and the power of being in a state of transience. Weight of time makes the viewer question the way of perceiving the nature of growing old. Weight of Time shows my personal fascination with the transient nature of all things. I am using the visual characteristics of the deer, which globally symbolizes gentleness, awareness and mindfulness. Weight of Time is a moving image representation of a meditative state and part of an ongoing investigation on the search towards enlightenment.
