A weathered, golden clock-face floats like a small sun against a tapestry of dark, interlaced patterns, turning time into an object of ritual rather than measurement. The cracked patina and burnished highlights suggest history sedimented into matter, while the stark Roman numerals hold a brittle order over a surface that feels eroded, almost geological. Slender hands cut across this aged glow with quiet authority, implying the tension between human precision and the slow, indifferent drift of decay. In its circular enclosure, the work becomes a meditation on permanence—how we gild the passing hours even as they quietly corrode.
