Ashtray Clock
Handcrafted individually, Ashtray Clock reflects a quiet conversation between time and people. An ashtray resting on a table marks human stillness, while a clock moves relentlessly, never waiting for anyone. With each passing second, the cigarette butt at the centre ticks like a second hand, momentarily nudging the other two, allowing time to be read, if one focuses hard enough.
Ashtray Clock is neither an ashtray nor a clock. Using it as a clock is a waste of time; using it as an ashtray is a waste of money.
