As a young international student, I’ve always felt split across multiple time zones. People I care about live their own lives around the world, and it often leaves me feeling helpless. But behind this feeling is a simple fact that each person has their own ideals, rhythms, and pace. We each live in our own ‘time zone.’
Since time difference comes from the solar hour angle, I replaced clock time with degrees. While we all move around the Sun at the same speed, different coordinate has different degree-yet different time zones. I invited friends around the world to record small moments from their lives, and by rotating a physical clock hand, I try to connect with them at different moments.
