Time Eternal
Sculptural Installation
This installation features a scaffolding structure containing a funnel filled with salt. The sculpture resembles a giant hourglass, inviting spectators to play a role in prolonging the process of symbolically extending time. Indeed, viewers may replenish the salt level using a bucket and pulley system, perpetuating a possible continuous infinite flow of salt.
Sound and taste of the cascading salt is ever present
