I am still amazed by the old watches I got this summer, and as I have been researching a couple projects about the art of dying I have seen the image of the hour glass with skulls, reminders that our “days are numbered.” Making the most of the time we have is the theme, from the ancient Romans who gave us tempus fugit to the medieval focus on morality and preparation for death. However you choose to think about your mortality and spend your life, the fact remains that time moves on and you can’t get it back.
I find the image striking either way and just enjoy looking at them. Hope you enjoy.
