Description

Hometown Sun is a light clock resemble the moving of the sun in my home country. In this fixture, There are both work light and accent light, the top light that recreated the sun from home, and the bottom part that provides the light for work.

For almost a year, I am away from home and having a long-distance relationship with the people I love. Bangkok and New York are 12 hours apart which means when the sun sets in Bangkok, the sun in New York just rises. I miss waking up and experiencing the same sunrise with my family. Therefore apart from countless video calls, I would like to find a new way to fulfill the gap between time and space with this Hometown Sun. In the long lonely night here, knowing at least how high the sun is rising in my hometown gives me warmth and energy to fight for another night 🙂
