Following the temporal fracture of Forget and Forgive – a project inspired by the Alzheimer’s clock drawing test – this new limited collection of ceramic timepieces moves with the hour – forward, but never quite in a straight line. With Forgive and Forget, Agnès Wyler returns to the fragile terrain where time bends, memory shifts, and the edges of the self blur. But the gesture has changed: where forgetting once led, forgiveness now opens the passage. These new ceramics embrace the instability of duration, intertwined with the seasonal ritual of changing clocks. Each piece marks a threshold – a site of transformation, a quiet witness to the relativity of time. Forgive and Forget gestures toward recurrence. Memory reconfigures, subtly reshaped. In this cycle, time invites us to forgive, forget, and begin anew.
