Eternal Moon

The work explores how a pair of lovers can fight the separation that exists all the time in life and finally extend to the ultimate separation, death.
The work consists of a clock and two sensing devices. The operating mode of the clock is divided into two stages.
Before the end of the lovers' lives, the clock's hand moves and records the amount of time when they are together and stops walking when they are apart. After the lovers' lives are over, the clock starts to reverse until the amount of time accumulated by the two in the first stage is completely consumed, then the clock will stop forever.

The two communication modules can identify the distance between lovers to control the operation of the clock remotely.
