Concept & artistic inspiration

Inspired by the iconic universe of luxury watchmaking, this work distorts the visual codes associated with Rolex — crown, gold, mechanisms, symbolic of time — to offer an artistic and philosophical interpretation.

The central slogan 'TIME IS MONEY' here becomes a contemporary reflection on:
the value of time
the notion of wealth
the transmission
and the role of luxury within our society.

The work does not celebrate the brand.
She stages her symbols, transforms and questions them, in the purest tradition of contemporary Pop Art.
