"CHRONOS"
Sculptural Installation / Ash, Time, and Movement

A horizontal circular chronometer where ashes—fragile and ephemeral—shift in precise patterns, marking each passing second. Chronos materializes time not as an abstraction, but as tangible residue: what persists when existence’s fire burns out.

In its silent rotation, the work reveals time’s paradox: measuring the unstoppable with the volatile, recording permanence through disintegration. Every moving particle bears witness to what the prior instant devoured, inviting us to contemplate our own trace in the cosmic clock’s sands.

"Time isn’t falling sand: it’s ash slipping away."
