The chapter that I picked from the novel Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman is 28 April 1905. This chapter talks about how time is absolute; it is like an infinite ruler. So I got an idea that I should put the ruler at the bottom of my triptych and connect all three of the panels so they have unity and looks like they flow each other as a big ruler under the same topic: time. In addition, I put not only antique clocks, but also modern clocks to show the time. Also one of the sentences in the chapter gave me an idea for the text part of the triptych, which is “ Ten o’clock. Seventeen hours and fifty-three minutes from this moment”. As soon as I read this part, I thought that I should put bunch of equations according to this. For example, one hour equals to sixty minutes, and that is three thousand six hundred seconds. So I put down some of mathematic equations to show time is absolute value like mate equations. The time is predictable, cannot be doubted, and it skips ahead without looking back. This part inspired me to put the background color as grey scale gradation to show that time skips ahead without looking back. The background color is changing without the notice, no dramatic change, which is similar to the time. As the triptych goes from text, combination of text and images, and images only, this is a way to show the time is flowing, and as well as the background.
