Timekeeper's Eye

Description

This piece features a realistic eye with a clock for the iris, framed by stacked diamond shapes rendered in dotwork. The stippled heart within the lower diamond adds a softer motif, balancing the geometric structure. The clock suggests time, mortality, and patience, while the watchful gaze evokes awareness and protection. Executed in blackwork with fine shading, it sits cleanly on the inner forearm for an elegant, vertical composition.
