Past Tense(Tim)

The most impressive art work in the gallery is "Past Tense".In the begging, I was very confused about why the artist wanted to put the candles in the bottom of the clock, because it is very weird to see th clock' bottom filled with candles. Eventually, I knew the main purpose the artist want to express through this art work. I thought that the most important idea the artist want to convey is that no matter how different the method to know time in anciet time or nowadays, time is very important as the value of pearls. When you get better use of time, you can accumulate more value during your lifetime. Thus, I think the crucial idea the artist want to convey is that the concept “time is money” is very important no matter in ancient time or nowadays.
