Design relojoeiro - Dreamtime Alarm Clock, uma clepsidra com alarme

Dreamtime Alarm Clock, de Vera Wiedermann. Uma espécie de clepsidra com alarme...

Nas palavras da autora:

Social conventions are defined by time and success. Every day, we are pressured to complete many different tasks. This daily rhythm ignores our need to sleep, and yet it is sleep that makes this rhythm possible. We need to pay closer attention to sleep.

By filling the alarm clock with water, we focus our attention on the duration of sleep. The task itself becomes a ritual which positively influences our rest. As opposed to the incessant ticking sound of a regular clock, here time passes silently and purely mechanically. As the drops of water fall, the glass bowl becomes lighter and finally lets the hammer fall. As the tone bounces between the singing bowls, we are gently awakened and a new day begins.

Time is something hard to grasp, but sleep is an experience.
