In Blueprint for a Disappearing Future, salvaged cuckoo clock components serve as a fragmented framework—a map to something once exacting, now enigmatic. The grid-like layout of mechanical parts and lens elements suggests architecture or invention, yet the faded blueprints and obsolete materials evoke erosion rather than precision. This piece reflects on how even our most intricate plans, like the inner workings of a clock, may ultimately be swallowed by time.
