In this mural created for the Alternating Currents Festival, a young woman holds an empty ceramic bowl, inscribed with the word time. From it spills long white ribbons, fragile yet flowing, like ties that both connect and slip away.
Is she offering time, asking for more, or struggling to hold on as it leaps away? The surrounding floral forms evoke cycles of growth and decay, while her steady presence suggests resilience in the face of passing moments.
This mural invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with time, how it can feel abundant and scarce, still and fleeting, a gift we offer and a force beyond our control.
