What is TIME ?

This series of interactive charcoal drawings explores the nature of time through the lens of the observer effect and quantum mechanics. The visual structures of the three drawings are based on electron clouds—the probabilistic regions where an electron might appear rather than a fixed location where it is. These clouds embody uncertainty, existing in a superposition of all possible states until measurement collapses them into a single reality.

The upper row illustrates what time truly is—a superposition of overlapping, semi-transparent figures, cells, and abstract patterns, simulating Schrödinger’s cat before observation. The lower row, covered by a layer of tracing paper, represents how we perceive time—a collapsed, singular version of reality, where complexity is reduced into a determined, linear experience.
