Bone Clock

A sculptural meditation on time, mortality, and transformation. Composed entirely of the inner sections of bamboo—its so-called “bones”—the piece evokes a skeletal structure that is at once architectural and organic. The radial arrangement suggests a clock or sunburst, marking the invisible passage of time through physical form.

At its base, the bamboo segments are varnished to a high gloss, evoking the artificial and the preserved—time halted, body embalmed. As the gaze ascends, the material becomes raw and untreated, transitioning from artifice to authenticity, from the fixed to the fleeting. This visual gradient speaks to a deeper cycle: death giving way to renewal, structure dissolving into spirit.
