A.Time is one of the greatest mysteries—it hasn’t been discovered, only experienced. We don't know where it resides, how it behaves, or whether it even had a beginning. Did time exist before the Big Bang, or did it unfurl alongside the expansion of space? And what becomes of time inside a black hole, being a point of singularity where it's thought that even time ends.
Time itself is invisible, and we create devices to make it tangible. But clocks don’t truly measure time; they measure the behavior of matter—the oscillations of a quartz crystal, the swing of a pendulum, or the flow of sand through an hourglass. Does time have a material presence like water molecules in a river's flow; a yet-undiscovered particle, or is it as intangible as information?
In these bubbles, time briefly takes material form, for a fleeting moment as each bubble comes into being, and slips out of existence.
Where the artists of the Light and Space Movement used space and light as both material and subject, we, in the same vein, treat time itself as a material.
