“Dials of Tomorrow” is a profound exploration of time, future possibilities, and the human connection to both nature and innovation.

A little more about it
The composition is dominated by two intricate clock faces. The first clock, positioned prominently, frames an idyllic beach scene, symbolizing a serene and harmonious future where humanity coexists peacefully with the natural world. The figure’s eye, which gazes through this scene, underscores the idea that our future vision is intertwined with our appreciation and protection of nature.
The second clock presents a stark contrast—a futuristic cityscape, representing human innovation and progress. This vision is partially obscured by a bold baby blue stroke that cuts across the clock face. This stroke symbolizes the fluidity and uncertainty of the future, a reminder that while we plan and build, much of tomorrow remains unwritten and shaped by our actions and thoughts today.
Adding depth to the composition are wavy blue lines—dark at the bottom, symbolizing the challenges we face, and light at the top, signifying the hope and clarity we strive for. These lines weave through the artwork, connecting the figure’s mind to the clocks, representing the life cycle and the continuous flow of time and ideas.
In the background, the presence of the moon and an astronaut further enriches the narrative, evoking the limitless potential of exploration and discovery. The astronaut, gazing at the moon, embodies humanity’s enduring curiosity and the quest to reach beyond the familiar, to dream and build a better future.
“Dials of Tomorrow” invites viewers to reflect on the balance between nature and progress, the known and the unknown, and the power of human agency in shaping a future that is both hopeful and sustainable.
