The location of the picture is from the bus station. During one of the school days we had off, my family and I decided to go to downtown., and because of the far destination, we took a bus there. When we parked our car and walked to the station, we were greeted with three oddly conjoined clocks. It truly fascinated me, because I had never seen this art before, and I felt it had so much meaning behind it, so I took a picture of it.

My photograph relates to this year’s Investigation theme because of how unique the clocks are made. Not everyday can you see clocks stationed just as this, and because it is presented at such a normal location, in this case a bus station, adds to the strangeness of the photo. Not only do the clocks relate to Investigation, but the straps holding it up adds meaning to it as well. The three clocks represent time, because it is the machine that measures so, and the straps holding it above the ground represent how humanity controls and uses time itself. The reason why the clocks are just a bit foggy on the inside represents the cluelessness of time itself. Time is hard to define, it is a length of reality, or measurement of something true. Time is such a mysterious concept, and to truly grasp the full meaning of it is one of humanity’s big steps.

You can find opportunities in the most strangest, vaguest, or most normal places in the world. Something as simple as three clocks suspended above the ground can emit so much meaning, but the only way to obtain it, is to believe it yourself. I had taken many other pictures, most of which were during my trip. But in this photo, not only do I feel I can qualify for a win, but the meaning and explanation of it can also persuade the judges as well.
