Zamân is an installation of kinetic and static sculptures that respond to two stable sources of light. On the ground, two rotating sculptures resembling the handles of a clock carry reflective and see-through planes on either side. Each handle bears two circular planes of a unique reflective film or mirror. As the discs revolve around the light source, they overlap one another and draw light and shadow together on the wall in front.

The projected play of light and shadow traces an allegorical narrative of the passage of time, as if cosmic elements were moving through a fleeting, extraterrestrial landscape.
