I am a Gray Kehai Clock. Most days that pass before me are gray, but if you catch me at the wrong hour, I'll likely be fiery red.
This clock, with graphic hands that are overlaid with translucent glass, is more of an art sculpture to us than anything. Although it tells time with complete accuracy, the abstract nature and the way the elements quietly dance around the clock, brings so much whimsy to an object that isn't normally endeared. In Makoto Koizumi's words, "We sometimes find the presence of a clock unpleasant. And sometimes the existence of time is also unpleasant. So a slightly ambiguous sign of time is just fine".
