EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the ancient Indian practice of time measurement with the use of a Clepsydra. Originating from Southern India, this historical instrument consists of a bowl with a small hole in it, which gradually fills with water. Once the bowl is full, a young boy is depicted striking a gong to mark the passage of time.
The image evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about the scientific advancements made by ancient civilizations in their quest to understand and measure time. The intricate details of the Clepsydra highlight the ingenuity and precision that went into its design, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of India.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where such instruments played a crucial role in daily life. The act of watching as the bowl slowly fills serves as a reminder of our own relationship with time and how it shapes our existence.
