Sand walker

An hourglass, literally translated as ‘sand walker’ in Dutch, is these days a symbol of passing time: a memento mori in a painting or a shape your cursor takes as you wait for something to load. This screen-printed ceramic tile design is a nod to the shapely, patient hourglass. Appropriate perhaps, because tiles have longevity as well as reflecting soft light and being easy to clean. But such considerations are rather mundane, perhaps, when considering the brevity of existence…

Tiles: E4, E5, E6, E7, E4+E5 combination, E6+E7 combination, ALL1 (optional), solid white or cream
