Title: What Time Keeps

Subtitle: What is carried forward, long after the hands have turned

Artist’s Statement:

This piece reflects on time not only as something that moves forward, but as something handed from one life to another. The worn pocket watch is more than an object—it is an heirloom, bearing the quiet imprint of those who came before. Its imperfections are not flaws, but inheritances: traces of touch, use, and presence accumulated over years unseen. What we inherit is not just a watch, but the weight and warmth of lived experience—carried, kept, and passed on.

Summary:

An intimate reflection on time as inheritance—worn, enduring, and gently carried from one life into the next.
