Image 3: Time

I aimed to explore the concept of time and how it affects the main elements of the image and the relationship between them.
Has this been achieved?
To bring attention to the element of time, I decided to use black and white tones and simulate a large grain effect. I wanted to create an effect similar to an old picture in a black and white newspaper (an image associated with time and the past).
I made adjustments to accentuate the waves. The introduction of the large grain also helped to make the waves much more defined. This was necessary to bring into focus the elements of repetition (=time), recurrence and return. The connection between the people, the sea and the rock is very important in this image: the tonal range and the scale help to define it also in relation to time.
I think that this image brings the concept of time into focus, more so than the original image. It also shows well the interconnectedness that exists between the main elements of the image.
