Image for Melting clocks

Melting clocks

The melting clocks are a famous surrealist painting by Salvador Dalí, symbolizing the fluidity and subjectivity of time. They depict clocks that appear soft and drooping, as if made of wax, challenging the traditional view of time as rigid and precise. This imagery suggests that our perception of time can be flexible and influenced by the mind and emotions, rather than fixed or absolute. Dalí's artistic expression invites viewers to consider how time can feel different depending on circumstances and consciousness, emphasizing the abstract and personal nature of experience.
