Ice Cream Dreams /// Frozen in time /// My entry for the collaborative art journey!

![frozen-01.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQjJBfiTRCq3vStYx9Aym4X2W4muAmdEesXJmuABm7SW1/frozen-01.jpeg)

Ever since I was a child the concept of being able to freeze time has fascinated me. If we could freeze time we could stop disasters, lengthen moments of joy, or take time to make the best decisions possible.

One of the inspirations for these daydreams was the late 80's television show Out Of This World. It was about a young girl who's father is an alien and when she turns 12 (or 13? my memory is a bit foggy here) she finds out that she has special powers and one of them is freezing time. Does anyone else remember this show? Here's the intro:

https://youtu.be/9BuSUH4vt_I

Once I got a little older I snapped out of these musings and accepted the fact that freezing time as far as we know is impossible. I let it go.

Lately though I have come to a realization that we *can* freeze time through a particular type of magic... art! Every piece of art that is created encapsulates a thought, an emotion, a fear etc. that we had during it's creation, and when viewing, allows us a small opening in which to enter someone else's ideas and emotions for a brief period of time.

When working on this piece for @everlove's collaborative art journey, as usual I take her invitation to *play* quite seriously and use this as unstructured art time for exploring. I took the original image and layered and distorted it multiple times and gazed at it as though gazing at clouds until a concept emerged. What I had created looked somewhat like a banana split in a fancy dish. Since the theme was frozen in time I decided it must be fate and made it so :)

Here is the original image we were given to play with:

Make a time lapse next time :D

Wouldn't it be great to freeze time, or revert back to crucial life decisions and get a re-do. Wow!

This reminds me, a looooong time ago I made some really fun photo collages but they were lost to the sands of time... or a broken archive CD to be more exact. 

Keep it up the cool work! :)

Dang girl!!!  You nailed this one---also!!!!  Not only is the art amazing, your whole post is amazing.  And I agree with you about art freezing time...the full-on expression of the moment lives on!!  

This is a super cheerful transformation and I feel the joy of your moment shared right here, right now!!  Oh so grateful to receive such a gift.  Thanks for being you and for sharing yourself with us @juliakponsford.
