Time passing

The words Tick and Tock in a design to imply the passing of time, with the individual words positioned so that they merge together and become hard to decipher as words rather than just shapes.

Some of the words Tick and Tock in the design are displayed in different colours in order to help make the design understandable. If all of the words were in black the individual letters would display enough cues to make them differentiable as letters, with the whole design being interpreted as a single pattern of lines. In some ways I don’t want the design to be obviously understandable, as the design is meant to signify time (and the passing of time) which is something that is beyond our ability to grasp in a meaningful way.
