Cycles.

After researching a little further about the use of triptych's in film, I feel as if I should research more into the idea of time. I still want to stay focused on the idea of nature and time, but my first idea was more to do with changes in nature over time. However, nature is also something which has repeating elements and cycles which I could experiment with in a triptych.

Immediately my first thought is a natural cycle such as the water cycle:

This is something which is consistent regardless of things such as climate change. The process doesn't change, the rate however may do. This element of consistency in film might be something interesting to explore.

Then of course, there is also cycles such as seasons:

I could possibly look at different elements of seasons in a triptych, highlighting different changes. However, seasons is a very cliche thing to lean towards and I would rather do something less explored, less evident than this.

However, another thing about cycles doesn't necessarily have to be about the theme itself or the element I am displaying. The triptych could be a cycle, but the image itself could just represent a moment in time, or the moment in a particular cycle. For example, I could have a seemingly still image that does move and change in the screen, but loops subtly so that you may not know if it is even changing.
