Time is unique in its duality—intangible yet ever-present, abstract yet deeply rooted in every aspect of our lives. It governs our existence while eluding our grasp. We live within its rhythm, attempting endlessly to measure, control, and define it. To me, time is more than a unit of measurement; it is an organizing force that connects every layer of human experience. It gives structure to our growth, marks our memories, and shapes our perception of both continuity and loss.
During my research, I began to see time not only as a mechanical driver of events, but as an emotional vessel. Each moment is saturated with nostalgia, hope, and the awareness of the present. If time is a bridge that links the past, present, and future, then I wish to explore how that bridge might exist tangibly—how we might see and feel time, rather than merely imagine it. Just as living beings grow through the seasons, adapting to change, we too embody time’s passage in our physical and emotional transformations.
“Time gives things vitality; it shapes culture and memory, and ultimately forms our identity.”
From this understanding, my project examines how the present moment molds the future, particularly through the lens of our material environment. In an era defined by overproduction and scarcity, time becomes a witness to both consumerism and the uncontrollability of industrialization. Every act of purchase, use, and disposal is part of a cyclical process—one that reveals the deep interconnection between human behavior and ecological consequence.
I aim to visualize how the residues of modern life—plastic, waste, pollutants—serve as temporal artifacts, evidence of our collective choices. These discarded materials will one day become the archaeological record of our age, embodying the contradictions between progress and destruction. Through material experimentation and conceptual design, I seek to invite reflection: How will the future remember us?
Time is therefore both subject and medium—a reminder that what we create, consume, and abandon today will continue to exist long after us. It is through this lens that my project contemplates the poetic, fragile, and irreversible relationship between time, humanity, and the environment.
I am eager to take on new projects, exploring creativity and innovation at the intersection of design, business, and culture.
