Imagine your time today, 24 hours as little puzzle squares that all fit together. And every bit of time is color coded by activity, the boring bits, the argument the time in traffic, cooking, working, sleeping… you get it. I was inspired when I read a series of essays about the afterlife. One version of hell is that you replay your life sequentially with all activities clustered together by amount of time spent… your commute hours, the time you spent sleeping, brushing your teeth, etc. How would your life look if you added up all the activities color coded by type and amount of time spent on each one?

These are works looking at the time divisions of a single day, they try to capture the individual sense of time in a 24 hour day.
