Design study
Finding a rhythm within the mechanics of a watch face to to discover new patterns of time. By focusing on the moving pieces beyond the traditional hands, I explore how smaller motions and gear interactions can reveal the fractions in between.

Time Code
Time as rhythm, translating temporal intervals into motion and collision rather than ticking numbers. Each object on screen represents a distinct layer of time; one second, three seconds, fifteen seconds, thirty seconds, and one minute. Instead of counting or displaying time linearly, these layers move autonomously, drifting through space like rhythmic agents coexisting in the same field.

Time Machines
It’s Time. A self critique of a tool used to tell how times passing. Some days none, some days more than others. Time passes different in different places.

Ecliptic
(AI generated time-lapse. No trees harmed in the making)
The Tree’s posture becoming a visual clock.
Intimate, but still universally understandable. The lived experience of the tree expressing need, decline, and renewal.

Sundial (found object)
Repurposed found object (from the junk shelf), the piece revealed two distinct shadows as I was cutting it into an L-shape. The shadow suggested an analogy to hours and minutes, recalling the sundial’s principle that even the simplest elements can measure time. This informed the design decision to leave the object unaltered.
