A journey through time with three clocks

by Henk Egbertzen

We are shot down without knowing why. This arrow, which shoots straight up into the sky, is a beautiful metaphor for life itself. We are born, and the journey begins. - Along the way, we carry time with us. This is reflected in the clocks mounted on the arrow. The bottom clock is overgrown with green moss and small plants. It symbolises the beginning, growth, youth and the early stages of life.
-
The middle clock is weathered and dark. It is the core of life, the period in which we struggle, gain experience and the traces of time become visible.
-
But then, at the very top, the miracle happens. Time shatters. The topmost clock bursts into thousands of golden particles and dissolves into the bright, divine light. Time lets go.
- In the end, we do not crash. We fly home. The arrow points straight towards the radiant sky, surrounded by an aura of clouds and sunlight. It is a comforting image of transience, hope and a new beginning. - In an interior, this is an absolute statement piece. It is a vertical work of art full of symbolism, perfect for a hall, a stairwell or any space where you wish to pause for a moment to reflect on the cycles of life. A timeless masterpiece for anyone who dares to embrace life’s journey.
