Title: The Shadow of Time
Artist: Harper Monette
Artwork Description:
This artwork captures the social isolation and generational divide that time creates.The elderly figure standing at the center is disconnected from the younger generations behind him, symbolizing how the world he once knew is drifting further away as time passes.
The clocks and hourglasses hanging from the trees represent the impartial flow of time for all, yet they hint at how the weight of time and the sense of isolation vary for each individual.
The cityscape in the background serves as a symbol of modern society’s rapid advancement, illustrating the alienation experienced by those left behind in the wake of technological progress.
This piece is a reflection on the growing isolation of the older generation, whose experiences and wisdom are increasingly ignored in modern society, and it calls for greater connection and understanding between generations.
