# clocks

## Visual Elements


a pair of bright yellow eyes showing a clock from each one of them.

## Cultural Context

Clock eyes replace the iris with a timepiece motif, evoking the relationship between perception and temporality. Clock iconography in the eyes references the distorted experience of time under altered states — minutes that stretch into hours on the dance floor, or the compressed urgency of a peak experience. The motif also recalls the clock-eyed characters in surrealist and psychedelic art.

<!-- justification
## Justification

Time perception is central to the rave experience — clock eyes visualize the warped, elastic sense of time on the dance floor.
