Untitled 14 (Time's Passage**)

Set against a regimented grid of clocks, the solitary figure sits in vivid, tactile color—her green sari and red blouse insisting on lived presence within a world that measures rather than remembers. The repeated dials, each frozen at a different angle, turn time into a surrounding architecture: orderly, impersonal, and quietly oppressive, while her stillness becomes an act of endurance. One clock’s barred face reads like a small imprisonment, suggesting how labor, age, and circumstance can partition a life into units of waiting. Yet the warmth of her skin and the patient curve of her posture introduce a counter-tempo—an intimate, human duration that refuses to be reduced to the ticking system around it.
