An experimental sculpture exploring how time can fold, freeze, and leave a trace.

We often see time as a line — forward, irreversible.
But what if time can be stretched, frozen, or pressed into matter?

This project explores the emotional and physical expressions of time through a kinetic sculpture made of wax, aluminum, and memory.
“Time Machine” is a sculptural installation developed around the themes of decay, slowness, and resistance. Inspired by industrial buttonholer mechanisms, the object repeatedly presses into layers of softened wax, slowly creating a permanent record of movement.
The wax becomes both a medium and a memory, shaped by force and heat. Through repetitive action and sensory engagement, the work poses a question: Can time be seen, not measured?
