Konsep:
"The Time Traveler" is a digital picture that questions the nature of character and self-reflection in the era of digitalization and the ephemeral valuing of the events it represents inside our vast universe. At the same time, the ability of the photograph to transfer information through generations, forming our present and revealing our past, is here interrupted by a timeless representation of one's self. The idea of location, thus individuality, has vanished, similar to a two-dimensional unwrapped map of the earth. The technological advancements have turned into a field of cruel ideas for the eyes of those who are left behind. Personal needs have been transformed into ideologies trying to survive in their uninhabitable society. Space is starting and ending at the edges of one’s self, and Time is vanishing between the gaps of declining interactions.
