You may feel like your days are shorter and you don't have as much time as you used to. Well that is because they are, and you don't. Every moment you live you lose time, because every “moment” you are alive your relationship to the duration of that moment changes. Over time your perception of time changes more than anything else in your life ever will.
You can equate your perception of time at various moments of your life by multiplying the amount of time you have been alive by the amount of time that you have been alive, that number, (A) x (A) = your perception of time. A newborn experiences time at a rate of 1 the first moment it is born, 10 minutes later it is experiencing “time” at a rate 100 times faster, by 10 years old the rate is about 313, by 30 the rate is 2.514. A 30 year old experiences that same "period of time" about 9 times faster than a 10 year old. So you may feel as though life is passing you by faster and faster, because it is. Your experience of one minute at age eighty is 64 times faster than it was when you were ten.
This constant change in your perception of time makes it difficult for you to realistically interpret time over time, and therefore your life, your past, your present, and your experience of the time you spend on earth.
This piece “#All You Have” expresses this relationship with the perception of time that we all universally experience as a human race using the viewer and their experience of the piece as the medium.
