This striking, framed collage, aptly titled "Luxury of Time," is a sophisticated commentary on status, mechanics, and fleeting moments. The artwork is dominated by two highly detailed, contrasting images of high-end wristwatches. One is a classic, white-faced timepiece, while the other features an intricate, exposed mechanical skeleton in shades of silver and blue, inviting the viewer to look beneath the surface.
 
The massive scale of the watches emphasizes their importance as both a measure of time and a symbol of success. Juxtaposed against these mechanisms are small human figures and unexpected elements: a man in a vibrant magenta suit stands near the center, and a pair of striped ornaments adds a surreal touch. These details, set against a bright yellow background, suggest that life's moments — from personal connection to fashion — are all contained within the luxury of time itself.
