TIME COLLECTION
SERIES IV — The Discipline of Time
If Series III was collapse,
Series IV is confrontation.
Here, time is no longer questioned emotionally, nor allowed to fragment freely. It is measured, constrained, organised. After rupture comes the human impulse to rebuild systems — calendars, instruments, rules — in order to survive duration.
This is the moment in Proust when consciousness realises that memory alone is insufficient. Time must be structured, otherwise it overwhelms. Measurement becomes protection.
Series IV introduces order with tension. Precision exists, but it is never neutral. Every structure carries the trace of what it tries to control.
Time, here, is disciplined — not mastered.

Time gains communal presence. Memory is no longer singular but shared, shaped through collective acknowledgment.
Inscribed Interval

An interval is marked and declared. Time becomes legible, framed for observation rather than introspection.
Official Duration

This object evokes authority. Time is validated, sanctioned, and displayed, acquiring institutional presence.
Hollow Center
Pin (medal-object), applied arts – jewellery design
Florence, 2010–2011
At the core, absence emerges. Despite ornament and status, time reveals a void—suggesting that recognition does not equal meaning.
Circular Emblem

Florence, 2010–2011
The circle returns as symbol. Time is presented as complete, closed, and self-referential.
Fragmented Honor
Pin (medal-object), applied arts – jewellery design
Florence, 2010–2011
Recognition fractures. Time, once unified, breaks into components, questioning permanence and value.
Terminal Insignia

The series concludes with finality. Time stands as emblem rather than process, preparing for dissolution and renewal.
