  • A cart full of scrambled Bak iconography.
    Time flies and indeed the bird is merged with the clock parts.
    Time is money as the face of the clock also appears to be a coin.
    The entrapment of the clock in the tree of life.
    The uprooted tree being transported in an immovable cart.
    Note the rope which maybe holding the entire contraption in place and from moving ahead. Is our effort to move ahead restrained by the rope of reality?

    The metronome pendant of the clock is also suspended by a thread.
    If time cannot move on, is it timeless?
