[Time]
Design a clock, timepiece, time recorder, timer, stopwatch, chronometer etc. It's up to you what it's for and what from it take.


research: Our cell is changing everyday

We are more interested in the cycle which exist in our body biologically, such as heart beat and regeneration of cells, than the time that clock shows and we are shearing in society. Looking at cells, some animals have obvious system of regeneration of cells. Snake and crab's sloughs are clear example. Human cell changing mechanism does not have clear evidence, but actually we are changing everyday.

Through the research, we found that each organs are regenerating in different cycle. For example, bones regenerate in two weeks, and skin does in one month. We focus on these cycles of regeneration of cells and think them as our clock inside our bodies. Then we made the images that shows these cycle to let people feel you will have completely different body 3 years later.
