The work depicts the well-known clock that once stood in front of a department store in the city center. It was a distinctive landmark and an integral part of the public space’s identity. Its presence marked the passage of time, the rhythm of everyday life, and places of gathering. The clock stood in its location for decades, but in 2018 it was removed during a redevelopment of the area.

The composition combines an architectural element with figurative motifs. Figures performing handstands appear near the clock, adding a playful dimension to the scene. They symbolize balance and the human element in contrast to the relentless passage of time. The inverted posture of the body serves as a metaphor for viewing reality from a different perspective, while also alluding to human adaptability in the face of change.
