What is 'Time'?

So the concept for this project is Time. But what is Time? I did some research into it earlier into the project and omitted to include it in my blog. When you get down to it, 'time' is a really hard concept to describe...


To get a background on 'time', I searched it in Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time, and dictionary.com, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/time, and on Google, and came up with a few interesting definitions:
"the system of those sequential relations that any event hasto any other, as past, present, or future; indefinite and continuous duration regarded as that in which events succeed one another."
and
Noun: The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.


Going on the last definition, if I chose my 'whole' to be a child, then the continued progress is the child growing up, being shaped by their surroundings. Therefore 'time' is the focal point of the series, being the catalyst for change in the child's life.


Since my last progress post, I altered my concept to include a hair bow which links the images together. This bow represents the change going on in the personality of the child and shows how the girl portrayed in my images is changing as she grows from a baby to a teen. We are so absorbed with commercialised objects today that I wanted to explore how a girl is affected over time by this as she grows from an unaffected baby into a teen who is shaped to fit in.
