Work

Please welcome… the Dreamtime alarm clock

Social conventions are defined by time and success.
Every day, we are pressured to complete many different tasks.
This daily rhythm ignores our need to sleep, and yet it is sleep that makes this rhythm possible.
By filling the alarm clock with water, we focus our attention on the duration of sleep.
The task itself becomes a ritual which positively influences our rest.
Time passes silently and as the drops of water fall, we are gently awakened and a new day begins.
Time is something hard to grasp, but sleep is an experience.
