Daily selfies on a dedicated Instagram account entitled For The Time Being. For The Time Being is translated from ‘Uji’, a term used by the 13th century Japanese Zen philosopher Dōgen, who wrote about the nature of time and existence. He wrote that anything having existence can be said to ‘be time’. Each one of us is time. There is no permanent ‘self’ in the ever changing flow of time – only a series of ever-changing conditions, one part of which is a sentient being (who is aware of time).
