Alternative Days | 2026
Metal Installative Sculpture | 25x35 cm (each)
“Alternative Days” examines the artificial and human-made nature of our current perception and system of time, encouraging a reconsideration of lateness and the “anxiety of keeping up” from a different perspective. These calendar pages show days that don’t actually exist in 2025 - unreal, yet strikingly real in appearance. It is a proposal to add seven new days to the year for those struggling to “catch up”, challanging the conventional sense of time.
