TIMELAPSE by Eva Ryan ‘23

This show is about time. Time moving fast. Time moving slow. Living outside of time. Time’s existence & non-existence in the same breathe.

This year has been like a portal for me. A liminal period, where time has been so very real & not real.

In one year, I have seen how much people can change, how much I can change. People fall in love, get married, birth children, birth ideas, learn, shift, outgrow, and die.

Momento Mori, remember we all will die.

So what are you doing with your time?

This show is about cycles. The cycles we naturally see around us, in nature, the sun & moon coming up each day, the change of seasons from citrus season, to wildflower season to hurricane season, to butterfly season. The cycles we see inside of us; Idea, expansion, excitement, falling action, the need for rebirth, conception. The cycles of healing. The cycles of grief. The cycles of everything in between.

Life is not linear. Life is cyclical. 

We grow & become & come back around. We ascend & make landfall & descend again. We heal & flourish & grow & become dirt and stardust once more.

I hope this show moves you in some way. May you experience the sacredness and normalcy of each moment. Take something with you & leave something behind. I am so glad you are here. Welcome to the timelapse.
