Description

A still life features two vintage clocks, one encased in a clear glass dome, and a gnarled piece of wood. The clock on the left has a golden frame and is under a bell jar. The wood is dark brown and has a prominent, irregular shape with a piece resting atop the main branch. Metallic, chrome-like spheres are scattered around the base of the clock and wood. Another vintage clock sits to the right of the wood. The surface is highly reflective, creating mirror images of the objects. The background is a smooth, gradient of gray to blue. The photograph has a cool, slightly desaturated color palette, adding to the image's surreal atmosphere.
