Polychromic time
2025


It is mostly mother who adjust their schedule according to the needs of their children and face constant time pressure. I realized it when I tried to balance full-time studies, caring for my children, and domestic labor. Through this experience, I understand that my perception of time differs from the conventional, linear clock time. Instead, I have an internal clock and schedule according to one task after another.

The book, polychromic time, is made using transparent plastic protective films. Binding by sewing, Handwriting and drawing. It records alarm time, the words of children's sounds, a mother’s daily responses, and mother-hugging figures. I take a playful approach using the broken form of a Paper Fortune Teller, a game that evokes memories of my mother, my daughter, and me, revealing the chaos and sense of loss in a mother’s time.
