Time Traveller

by Ray Rodriguez

In Time Traveller, a whimsical yet surreal figure slices through the fabric of time—represented by a ribbon-like tie—while holding a caged avocado like a preserved relic. With oversized headphones and antennae sprouting from his head, he appears both futuristic and anachronistic, blurring the lines between past and future, absurdity and ritual. Set against a gradient sky with symbolic geometry, this piece explores our complicated relationship with time, memory, and the mundane objects we assign meaning to. It invites the viewer to reflect on how we navigate time not with machines, but through habits, obsessions, and imagination.
