For this project, I thought about the growth of plants as a representation of time. However, I decided to combine that concept by creating a method where by looking at the image, one can know in a more literal sense what time of day it is while still being an abstract representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stem grows a little longer each minute and refreshes from the bottom once it reaches 59. This allows the viewer to know what minute of the hour it is. The number o pedals is representative of the hour and the shade change of the pedals represents the seconds. The background also changes from night to day depending on the typical times when the sun and moon are out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
