“By making the absence of color and the reflection of chrome, I invite to a
subjective and objective reflection on your limited existence and the
importance of taking action coz’ at any moment, your time could run out
Finding your own reflection in this work gives an additional sense of identity to
the observer”
-Emmanuel Meneses
ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
In this thought-provoking sculpture, the artist presents a metaphorical representation of the concept of time using a time bomb. The sculpture is crafted from resin, formed into a box with curved corners, and is available in three different colors: chrome, blue, and copper.
At the center of the sculpture, there is a clock, symbolizing the passage of time. Surrounding the clock, there are handmade dynamites, all intricately attached to it. This composition serves as a visual reminder that we are all sitting on a timer, unaware of the limited time we have on this planet.
