This mixed media piece, created with acrylic paint and three-dimensional sculptural elements, explores the fleeting nature of time. The melting clock spills out from the canvas, symbolizing how time continually escapes our grasp — fluid, unstoppable, and beyond control.

The hand reaching toward the clock represents our human desire to hold on, to slow down what inevitably slips away. Yet, as the numbers fall and distort, the work reminds us that time will not wait. Instead, it urges us to live fully in each moment — to make meaning before it melts into the past.

The combination of painting and sculptural form blurs the boundary between illusion and reality, emphasizing that time’s passage affects both our inner and outer worlds
