Time, like language, is a construct - an arbitrary agreement that shapes how we orient ourselves in the world. In "One Hour is Sixty Minutes and Vice Versa," the artwork's counter-clockwise motion challenges our fundamental assumptions about time, directionality, and cultural norms. It does not "reverse" time; it expands our way of experiencing it. The background, never at rest, serves as a metaphor for the undercurrent of change - historical, linguistic, and personal - that accompanies our notions of order.

The piece bridges cultural systems and questions the illusion of universal "right" ways of seeing or experiencing the world. The clock references a historically transnational form of communication using Hindu-Arabic numerals. Yet, its leftward flow aligns with Semitic languages like Arabic and Hebrew, which proceed from right to left. This juxtaposition evokes the deep interplay between language, perception, and history.

The work invites viewers to reorient themselves - to let go of ingrained temporal habits. The clock remains functional and accurate, but the experience of reading it demands a recalibration, a metaphor for the permeability and relativity of cultural systems. Is time truly reversed, or are we seeing a mirrored reality? The answer is fluid, depending on one's vantage point.
