About Time from directly overhead

About Time is a artwork in California, at a modelled 18 m. Tecate Peak stands 1,184 m to the east, 20 miles off. The nearest named place is Parque Mexico, a park 0.2 miles away. 36 named summits stand within 25 miles.

"We’re all different" and “We are all equal” are two of the inscriptions on the sculpture. Resembling an hourglass, the work alludes to the ageless nature of time and the present’s transient nature.
