Draw your own timeline. Every scribble you make becomes your intuitive timepiece, and a red dot moves along it, marking the present moment. Time is observation and calibration. Before hours and minutes, humans observed time in the world around them—the stretch of a shadow, the bloom of a flower, the quiet drift of the stars. We expand that timekeeping tradition. You create your own timeline—an arc, a wave, a winding trail—and watch time trace it. Time Lines is a chronological investigation by Shashwath Santosh and Nithin Eluvathingal.
