This piece took us two months to complete and is truly a labor of love. It’s titled Running Against Time and is meant to express how every one of us is racing against time, whether we are parents, children, employees, or business owners.
We’re all trying to outrun time, striving to achieve certain milestones within limited timeframes so that we can spend more moments with our families, children, loved ones, and even find freedom for ourselves.
In this artwork, we’ve placed four running men, but they’re not meant to represent four different people. Instead, they symbolize the same person going through the journey of life and evolving along the way. You’ll notice that the color of these figures gradually changes, starting from worn black clothing and eventually transforming into golden statues.
At the starting point, there's a vintage flip clock that vividly displays the passage of time. It’s not just a clock—it’s an alarm too! (Though the alarm sound is a charming ring of an old-fashioned telephone).
The mountains in the background symbolize the world—though we may feel we are running alone in this vast world, we are never truly alone. The light shining on the mountain could be trees, or perhaps starlight, but no matter what it is, there’s always a light guiding our path.
This transition signifies the personal growth and victory that comes from perseverance—ultimately, the win is yours.
