Computer networks don’t care where the sun is in the sky (2026)

We have detached ourselves from the sun’s cycle, trading the natural rhythm of sunrise and sunset for the relentless tick of atomic clocks. Trying to make sense of this constant rush of time, I found myself reminiscing about unhurried days, back before our lives were dictated by never ending schedules.

By blending these nostalgic memories with fragments of my current daily life, this work explores the longing of childhood and the effort to appreciate moments before they fade, ultimately questioning why we only value a second after it has already slipped away.
