This piece directs scrutiny towards questions asked about life. What makes life worth living? What do we value? It explores the concept of life as a measurement of time. Does time act only as a reminder that this lifetime is finite? Can we ever be reminded enough of what is important? We often feel that life is a quest, and while we are searching to inject meaning into it, as the old adage goes, we miss life completely. This installation takes a small amount of time, and won’t monopolise a large portion of your life.
