Will morning arrive like an explosion?
An antique mechanical alarm clock sits on a wooden nightstand with two fragmentation hand grenades mounted in place of its twin bells.
What you see
An olive-green mechanical alarm clock rests on a dark wooden nightstand under the soft glow of a bedside lamp. Where rounded metal twin bells would normally sit, two military fragmentation grenades are mounted on either side of the central ringer. The textured casing and curved geometry of the explosives mimic the shape of the traditional alarm bells.
The piece combines the quiet routine of waking up with the sudden threat of an explosive detonation. An alarm clock is built to intrude upon sleep and begin a new day, but merging it with live ordnance transforms a mundane domestic ritual into an experience of impending destruction. The peaceful atmosphere of the bedroom is immediately destabilized by the lethal hardware on the bedside table.
Can I use this?
Yes, for anything, free of charge. In return we'd be grateful for a little publicity: a post or a link, or at least telling a friend about XERATION.
