About The Artwork:
Titled 'Time Flies,' this black-and-white illustration captivates with its evocative imagery and layered symbolism. At its center, a moth spreads its wings, from which two geckos emerge, each element rich with meaning. The moth, often associated with transformation and nocturnal symbolism, represents vulnerability, attraction to light, and the transient nature of existence.
Hanging from the moth's body is a pendulum, swinging with measured precision, while grandfather clock weights dangle below. These elements symbolize the passage of time, the relentless march of seconds, minutes, and hours. The pendulum embodies the rhythmic cadence of life, while the clock weights remind us of the weight of time's passing.
Adorning the wings of the moth are two clocks, each frozen at a different hour. These clocks represent the finite nature of time and the inevitability of change. They serve as reminders of the fleeting nature of moments, urging us to cherish the present and contemplate the impermanence of existence.
The geckos, emerging from the moth's wings, add another layer of symbolism. Known for their agility and adaptability, geckos symbolize resilience, regeneration, and the ability to thrive in diverse environments. Their presence amidst the imagery of time and transformation offers a juxtaposition of stability and change, urging us to embrace the flux of life.
When all these symbols are combined, 'Time Flies' becomes a profound meditation on the passage of time, the ephemeral nature of life, and the constant cycle of transformation and renewal. It invites viewers to reflect on the connections between past, present, and future, and to ponder the significance of each moment in the ever-unfolding tapestry of existence.
"Time flies so fast for those who can't fly." ― Tamerlan Kuzgov
