" The land of time" is a desktop ornament themed around time management, inspired by the cherry blossom tree. The centerpiece of this ornament is a cherry blossom tree, set against a simulated lawn at the base and enclosed within a transparent circular frame. The transparent frame represents the sky, adorned with the sun, moon, and clouds, creating a composition that is both artistic and poetic.

Starting at 9 a.m., a cherry blossom blooms on the tree every hour. This gradual blooming not only adds an element of mystery but also enhances the rhythm and harmony of the entire piece. The sun and moon, encircling the cherry blossom tree, slowly rotate as time passes. The alternation of the sun and moon symbolizes the cycle of work and rest throughout the day. This clever interactive design seamlessly merges the passage of time with the rhythm of nature, forming a complete and harmonious picture.

The left side of " The land of time" features a fully transparent panel divided into two sections: the upper section displays the current time, while the lower section shows a countdown to the end of the workday. When the countdown reaches zero,a gentle bird chirping sound plays, seamlessly integrating the user into a natural ambiance. The left corner of the bottom is equipped with buttons for different setting with the shape of cherry blossom petals, which not only reflects the convenience of modern technology but also creates an interesting contrast with the natural scenery. There are three buttons for 15, 30, and 45-minute reminders on the right corner of the bottom,

allowing users to efficiently manage their work time while enjoying the beauty of the ornament.

" The land of time" combines aesthetics with practicality, making itself a beautiful decoration to any home or workspace.Through it,the designer aims to remind people that in the fast-paced modern world,it's important to pursue efficiency and progress, as well as to appreciate the beauty of life. Your life can not be dominated by the excessive competition and pressure; instead, you should learn to relax and cherish the beautiful moments.
