Although time is an element that has existed in our society for millennia, our relationship with it has changed fundamentally over the last few centuries. From being a simple phenomenon of our daily lives, it has become over time a structuring, controlling and governing element of our lives.  

Based on how humans experience the passage of time and used to look to the sky for clues to time through history, Dawn to Dusk is a translation of ever changing colours worn by the sky throughout the day, symbolizing time flowing. It makes us aware of how we have lost touch with the present moment through our constant pursuit of time.
