A clock to remind other things more important than time.
Last year, I lost a very important person in my life. In the middle of everything that happened, somehow, in a way I learned to be more conscientious about the passage of time, an awareness that I didn't have before, and how inevitable is this.
This object, TIEMPO, is an exercise to want generate that awareness, conceptualized to be a tangible reminder of, for better or for worse, time passes, and every moment matters. TIEMPO is a clock that itself doesn’t tells units to measure time, but it makes us aware and be more conscientious of the inevitability of its passage. The clock contains a small niche in which you can place objects that are emotionally linked to that feeling that time passes; objects that remind us of something that was, or something that with sufficient persistence will be.

Time passes, clock is ticking, regardless of whether it is measured in hours, minutes or seconds.
Everything happens, goes, but everything also comes.
This object is to remember that.
