My son’s sand timers got me thinking about how fleeting life is and how quickly time passes by. With hindsight, I probably should have put the 30 min timer first. I’ve also angled them to reflect the forward motion of both life and time, from birth to middle age to old age and then death. It’s a bit morbid I’ll admit, but grief can do that, it’s like a wake up call. Grief also makes you more appreciative of the shortness of life and it pushes you to begin to savour every second and take nothing for granted.
I’m from Belfast and I’m a complete beginner in the world of photography. I’ve always loved photography and capturing things that interest me, but never...
Very thoughtful and poetic. I deal with a lot of people walking through grief in my position at the church where I work- and time never follows a set pattern for any, so the way the sand timers are sitting seems appropriate to me.
