Handcrafted Repair of a Broken Clock: Clock Hands Fixed with Nails & Tape, Accompanied by a Hammer
Description
The center of the image features a white circular clock face with evenly arranged thin black markings. The broken clock hands are secured with golden tape (with wrinkled edges) and two silver round-head nails, in an attempt to retain the "pause" of time. Below the clock face, the text "RADIO CONTROLLED" is printed, adding a vintage touch. The background is a deep brown wooden tabletop with fine texture, scattered with three silver nails of varying lengths. On the right leans a black hammer with a red handle (bearing white text on the handle), while part of a light brown tape roll (with small holes) is visible on the left. The overall composition exudes the simple warmth of handcrafted repair. The brightness of the red hammer, the steadiness of the wooden table, the coldness of the metal nails, and the cleanliness of the white clock face create a contrast, conveying a gentle attempt to hold onto fleeting time, a cherished repair of damaged items, and as if recounting a daily tale of a struggle with "time standing still".
