समय पहाड़ हो गया है _A memory of time.

"समय पहाड़ हो गया है"(Samay Pahad Ho Gaya Hai) is a local idiom from North India that my mother often used. This idiom captures the essence of time as a burden, stagnant and absurd, similar to the themes explored in Albert Camus' philosophical essay, "The Myth of Sisyphus." Just as Sisyphus was condemned to endlessly push a boulder up a hill, the idiom implies that time has become an insurmountable mountain. It symbolizes the weight and futility we sometimes feel in the face of the unstoppable passage of time.

Talking about the idiom is I consider as return, return to the memory of time and the particular space where I grow up, how I develop my relationship with immediate environment (rural landscape) within that time frame, where I was making a family tree with different components of landscape such as tree, water, land, mountain, birds, animals, sky etc. also develop the seance of value and care of our ecosystem.
