Inner Measure turns measurement inward. The watch, traditionally an external authority, becomes introspective—its function secondary to its symbolic presence. Coral elements punctuate the surface like markers of lived experience rather than numerical precision.
This work suggests that time, at its most intimate level, is not counted but felt.
