The Watchful Eyes

Description

This artwork presents an even more captivating concept—a pocket watch with a face featuring a strikingly realistic human eye. The integration of the zodiac signs as hour markers remain and the website address “BeforeIFallAsleep.com” prominently positioned at the bottom suggests a continued theme linking time, astrological influence, and perhaps the realm of dreams or the subconscious.

The eye within the watch could symbolize the personal, introspective journey one takes through time, with each moment watched over by the self or soul—implying a sort of self-surveillance or reflection upon the passage of life. The pocket watch design adds a layer of intimacy and portability, suggesting that this reflection on time and self is a personal journey that one carries with them, close to one’s heart.

“Before I Fall Asleep” can be seen as a time for contemplation, a moment where the subconscious takes over, and the barriers between reality and dreams blur. This could represent the moments where one’s innermost thoughts and feelings come to the forefront, unrestrained by the waking world’s demands.

The watch, an object traditionally associated with precision and routine, is transformed into a vessel for exploring the fluid and often enigmatic nature of our perception of time and self-awareness. It’s a beautiful blending of the mechanical and the organic, the external and the internal, the conscious and the subconscious.
