19 July – 10 August 2025

The exhibition Time, Timeless, Movement celebrates the 350th anniversary of the invention of the balance spring by Christiaan Huygens – a component that remains vital to modern watchmaking. Participating artists have been invited to explore how time influences their work, and how they interpret and experience time.

My sense of time is shaped by the visible drift of constellations across the night sky. I am a stargazer — simply with the naked eye. For this exhibition, that quiet practice gave rise to a series of five small works, each measuring 18 x 24 cm. Celestial scenes, capturing constellations and conjunctions that, I believe, Huygens himself might have cherished. A humble attempt to hold time still, if only for a moment.
