Hourglass is a visual identity exploration built around the idea of time as something fluid, layered, and emotional rather than linear. The goal was to create a brand language that feels modern, editorial, and slightly surreal while still being structured enough to scale across campaigns and digital platforms.

Time is not shown as a straight line. It is stretched, repeated, blurred, and reframed.

Instead of showing a single moment, the visuals hold multiple moments at once. This creates a sense of movement even in still frames.

The hourglass mark is minimal and geometric.

Placement is intentional, often centered or used as a focal interruption within motion-heavy visuals.
