Original artwork description
Ornament — Time is a geometric painting about a universal experience: the feeling that time is slipping away — or standing unbearably still.
At the centre of the composition stands a female figure in a tense moment of waiting. Her hands and the angle of her body follow the logic of a clock face, as if she has become time's own mechanism. The barely visible grey in her hair hints at continuity beyond what we can consciously perceive. Layered over this, a semi-transparent geometric ornament — two intersecting triangles within a circle — acts like a kaleidoscope, drawing the eye inward while destabilising any fixed sense of duration.
Time, in this painting, is not a backdrop. It is a force that exists independently of us — moving in waves, expanding and contracting, defying linearity. The work is an attempt to pause the unpausable: to look at time as if it breathes alongside us.
This work is part of the Ornament series — paintings that use geometric symbolism layered over the female figure to explore universal human experiences. The companion work Ornament — Luck is also available on my Artfinder profile.
