Small Repair

In the cramped workshop, hands move quickly over the broken clock, fingers tracing the path of cracked glass, the stutter of gears. Someone says “it’s just a matter of patience”. The light from the window highlights the dust motes, suspended in the air, as the work continues, methodical and slow.

A small brush is used to clean the intricate mechanisms, each part examined carefully, before being reassembled with precision. The goal is not to rush, but to understand the inner workings, to make it whole again. The clock’s face, a simple circle, waits to be restored, its hands still, as if holding its breath.
