The final art installation design, Life Ticks By, gives community members an opportunity to re-evaluate how they utilize their time throughout their daily lives. The art piece enables them to take a moment of reflection so that they take a break from routine. It encourages people to pause, take control, and become more aware of how obsessive regularity correlates to passively living. Ultimately, Life Ticks By allows people to manipulate their personal time, forcing them to realize that they need to stop and look around once in a while to gain control of their lives.
