Hourglass encapsulates the notion of the passing of time. The artwork is part of Plein Air, a sculpture series consisting large, container-like forms inspired by everyday objects. A gift by Delia Prvački, this artwork was originally placed in the grass near the beach of East Coast Park, like a relic washed up by the tide.
