Archive Note N° AT-001.

I drafted this piece during a period when time felt like an adversary. The very act of rendering its mechanics visible (the weight of the pendulum, the cold precision of the gears) mirrors a choice we have faced since the passing of hours was first given physical shape. We look upon these rigid instruments and must decide whether to see a companion or a rival, caught in the quiet human desperation of wishing the moments to hurry past, or begging them to stand entirely still.

A record of the hours we try to command, and the ways they ultimately command us.
