The bobbin lace artwork evokes in the viewer a sense of something unreal. It portrays a time when people were not yet trapped in the world of phones, emphasized by the drawing’s old-fashioned style reminiscent of the traditional Idrija lace pattern. This touch of the past creates a contrast with the modern age, in which technology increasingly shapes our lives.

The clock symbolically continues to move forward, while excessive use of digital technology distances us from genuine thinking and experiencing the world. In this way, the image draws attention to phone addiction and to how it can affect our ability to think, to be present, and to truly perceive the moment.
