Where perception meets possibility
Read time 1 minute 30 seconds
Time. We can’t hold it, see it, or stop it—yet it shapes everything we do. It’s the silent force behind every deadline, every memory, every heartbeat. We talk about time constantly. We chase it, fear it, try to master it. But the truth? Time isn’t something we can control. Clocks and calendars may help us stay organized, but they don’t measure time itself. Time moves on—steady, unstoppable—no matter how fast we feel it slipping away.
But here’s where it gets interesting: our experience of time isn’t fixed. Beneath the tick-tock of daily life lies a strange and powerful truth—time is flexible. It warps. It stretches. It shrinks. What feels like minutes in one moment can feel like hours in another. Welcome to the world of time warps.

My journey into this concept began in art school, when I found myself constantly checking the clock—afraid I was running out of time to create, to succeed, to be enough. That pressure turned into passion. I started channeling those emotions into a series of paintings and prints that visually explored time distortion: the way time bends under stress, under joy, under the weight of memory.
Turns out, science agrees. Our brains don’t experience time in straight lines—they respond to emotion, attention, and novelty. A boring hour can feel endless. A joyful day can vanish in the blink of an eye. Routine compresses time; excitement expands it.
This understanding is at the core of my work. It’s not just about time—it’s about how we feel time. And that changes everything. My pieces invite viewers to rethink their relationship with time, to notice how they move through moments, and to be present in a world that moves fast.
In a culture obsessed with productivity and speed, this is your invitation to pause. To experience time not as a countdown, but as a canvas. To embrace the warp. Because you can’t stop time—but you can change how you live in it.
