About the artwork

She stands in a hall of steaming gold and ornate eternity - the guardian of lost time. Her gaze, hidden behind glowing blue lenses, penetrates not only matter, but also the decades. What she sees remains hidden from us - but it seems immense. Her glasses are not a tool for seeing, but a prism of dimensions through which past, present and future flow in equal measure.

Her hair, a living network of tubes, cogwheels and smoking copper spirals, is reminiscent of the inner workings of an ancient machine. Every curl harbours a secret, every wire a reminder of an age that never was - or is yet to come. Between them float gilded clocks, rose-like constructions and charred fragments of time, as if space itself had decided that it no longer existed in a linear fashion.

The patterns on her robe tell of ancient formulae, alchemical symbols and mechanisms whose function only she understands. She is not a scientist - she is a relic. A being that was not created, but has fallen out of the clock itself. A chronomechanic. Time is her element, deformation her art.

This work bows to the aesthetics of steampunk, but elevates them to something more poetic: a portrait of resistance to transience. In its silent presence lies the reminder that time does not pass - it only changes its face.
