Here, time gains mass. The composition grows denser, more tactile, as if memory has begun to accumulate. Mechanical fragments coexist with organic materials, suggesting the coexistence of lived experience and measured history.
The pin recalls an honour earned simply by having lived — a recognition without audience, worn as a private emblem.
