During a recent event at the Met, J.G. Ballard's intriguing work, 'The Garden of Time,' was announced as the theme for the evening's red carpet affair. This particular piece delves into a dystopian world where Count Axel and his wife reside in a lavish villa surrounded by a vast walled estate.
Within the 'Garden of Time,' a unique concept of 'time flowers' made of glass-like material adorns the landscape. These flowers hold a special power - when Count Axel plucks their heads, time reverses, pushing back an approaching angry mob that threatens their existence. However, this ability is finite, and as the last flower is picked, the inevitable confrontation with the mob draws near.
