A circular wooden clock hangs against a pale background. The face is constructed of radiating, petal-like pieces of light wood with small knobs along the edges, resembling a flower or wheel. Black hands mark the time at approximately ten minutes past eight, centered around a dark circular detail with text.

Clockwork Allegiances

Clock wood remembers the press of a hand not as fixed moments, but as layered intentions scored within its structure. This subtle scoring – barely visible lines alongside keyways and pendulums – shows how focused effort inevitably prioritizes some functions over others, embedding ethical costs into even meticulous work. Maintenance isn’t passive preservation; it's active authorship, building patterns of use into the object’s very endurance. Consequently, the clock's ticking doesn't reflect a stable original form but an accumulation of provisional decisions made through time.
