The image depicts a fantastic hybrid: a clock-faced sunflower growing in a garden of time.
The creature has the stem and leaves of a giant sunflower, but its head is an ornate antique clock face. The petals surrounding the clock are golden hour and minute hands of various sizes, constantly moving to show the passage of time.
The clock's numerals are seeds, some occasionally popping out and floating away on tiny parachutes made of watch gears.
The stem of the sunflower is wrapped with a spiraling vine of ticking wristwatches, and its leaves are sundials that cast real-time shadows.
The setting is a surreal garden where time itself seems to grow. The soil is made of fine sand from countless hourglasses. Other time-keeping plants include alarm bell tulips, pendulum daisies, and a bush with blooming stopwatches.
In the background, a picket fence made of ruler markers divides the minutes and hours. The sky above shows all phases of the day simultaneously, from dawn to dusk, in concentric circles.
Hummingbird-shaped metronomes flit from flower to flower, their wings beating in perfect time.
Despite its fantastical subject, the image maintains a photorealistic quality in its details, from the weathered brass of the clock face to the delicate mechanisms of the watch-vine, the varying textures of the time-keeping flowers, and the interplay of light and shadow across this chronological landscape.
