I wasn't going to enter this challenge. I didn't have any ideas. I had just found out my dad had an incurable lung disease and I guess that must have been on my mind when I thought of this. I couldn't sleep last wed. night thinking about my dad and then this idea came to mind. I only had Thursday to shoot and edit all of the photographs used in this composition. I spent most of the day on it. Despite the rush I feel happy with the image and feel it got the point I was trying to make really well.
Now that you know what my thoughts were in creating this image, I don't think it needs much more explanation. Time is always passing whether we want it to or not.

i am sorry for your circumstance. Your life story adds to my understanding of the image. I was getting the prisoner of time theme - but not necessarily understanding the depth of the message until i read your notes. its good to have an output(not sure this translates well) for your emotions.
Congrats on the HM Jenn! A very poignant piece. Time does indeed have a hold on us. It sweeps us away and passes 'whether we want it to or not'. I love the texture on this piece because it gives it a sense of age - perfect since this visual art addresses the subject of Time. Just one observation I made: The 'hands of time' only represent two moments in time (11:40 and 10:09). It might have been best to have different times to represent 'time stands still for no one' or, upon, further reflection one can deduce that it represents those particular moments in time slipping away.
Oh Gosh. I was wrong. Sorry about the mistaken identity. None the less a wonderful and creative masterpiece. You deserve the ribbon all the same. You are an outstanding artist. I now have another favorite! Congratulations on a top 10.
You are one of my favorite artists on DP Challenge Samantha. Your creativity and technical ability is astounding. You have definitely found your purpose. There are so many wonderful pictures in this challenge. Yours is in the top 3.
Lovely concept, Jenn. I find the composition of the "balloons" too stiff, though, without enough tension in the cords. But it will likely finish at the top, regardless
