The hourglass, with its distinctive shape of two connected glass bulbs containing sand that flows from the top chamber to the bottom at a consistent rate, has long been used as a timekeeping device based on the principles of gravity and physics. Symbolizing the passage of time and the finite nature of human existence, the hourglass carries a metaphorical significance that transcends its practical function. A visual representation of the eternal cycle of life, the hourglass reminds us of the fleeting nature of moments and the inevitability of change as we watch the sand slowly sift from one chamber to the other. In literature and art, the hourglass has often been depicted as a powerful motif, serving as a poignant reminder of mortality and the ephemerality of all things in this world.
