--- title: Kylah Benes-Trapp description: Time has been doing strange things lately — things it’s always done. Moving slowly, looping around, flying by. We invited 9 artists and creators whose practices include time-based works, to make works on time in this time. To shine a little light on, and help us make our own sense of, time in a year that has gone by many names. image: https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5fc2d70bda423a305e2d7c23/5ffb3ff10d861d2362e99f49_kylah_Social%20Metadata.png --- [![Time in This Time](https://www.timeinthistime.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/timeinthistime/images/TIME-IN-THIS-TIME.svg) as told by artists and creatives ](https://www.timeinthistime.com/) Things have been surreal and too real; novel and getting old fast; overwhelming, challenging, and hard with bright spots. We’ve been locked down and trying to build each other up. This (time) capsule is an offering. A mosaic of meditation. A sourdough starter of creativity to help feed your own. Take a step back, take a breath, take a look, and take your time.

A passage into a dimension where time does not exist. A *place* where* space* is the *pace *of a fleeting reality. Invite whomever you’d like for there is no limit to the experience of escaping time. Our existence flows in unison with every moment, as an opportunity to create from nothing. As dawn joins darkness the possibility of *discovery* powerfully emerges into the big game that we call life. At all times, living happens right now. *– Kylah Benes-Trapp* [Kylah Benes-Trapp](http://www.speakingameriky.com/about) is a creative director and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California.
