This sundial does not follow a circular orbit. It does not divide time evenly. Sometimes time stretches faintly, and sometimes passes fleetingly. After noon, the reflection shadow goes to the other side, just as the sun does. Time is folded and flows. Sometimes, the reflection shadow of time overlaps with the past moment, like our memories that are engraved in the past time come up in the current moment.

This sundial displays the length of time differently.

During the day of the higher sun, the area of shadow is longer.

It seems to show the stretching feeling of time during the day visually. This sundial compares our sense of sensing the time to the difference in visual area, just as we relatively feel that the time of sunset or sunrise passes in an instant. On the contrary, it feels like a long time during the day when the sun is hot and in a higher position.

Also, we tried to show the sunlight through the needle of this sundial by refracting the colorful colors. We planned a layered color or a different pattern for each time zone, but for now, two colors distinguished the time zone to sunset and the time zone to noon.
