There’s something about an hourglass that never means just…

There’s something about an hourglass that never means just one thing. Time passing. Time running out. Time being honored. Time being reclaimed. I’ve been sitting with this idea—an hourglass wrapped in lilies—as winter loosens its grip and the first signs of spring start to breathe again. Lilies don’t rush. They disappear underground, unseen, doing the quiet work of becoming. Then one day, they return—soft, intentional, undeniable. This piece isn’t about loss or urgency. It’s about transition. About the space between what was and what’s coming next. About choosing to mark a moment instead of outrunning it. I don’t know whose story this will be yet—but I know it wants to be told. If you’ve been standing at the edge of change, feeling the weight of time and the promise of renewal, this might be yours. One-off. Intentional. Made to carry meaning. Spring is close. 🌱
