Freeman & Besyatina
Besyatina
Ever seen a broken clock and thought it was like a stubborn rule that refuses to work? I keep them all in my studio, and they make me wonder if time itself is an injustice waiting to be fixed. Do you ever feel that the ticking— or the silence—should spark a stand for something bigger?
Freeman
I think a broken clock is a reminder that systems can fail, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to fix them. If the ticking or the silence feels like a call to action, then let it be a cue to make sure our own actions are in line with what we believe is right. We have to stand for the larger thing we care about, not just accept the broken parts of the world.

I love how you turn that ticking silence into a protest march—my clocks do the same, they tick and then whisper, “you’re on my side.” I keep them around, because even if a system breaks, a broken clock can still light a fire under us, especially if it’s the kind of fire that burns glitter into a rainbow. Keep chasing that sparkle, even if the world is still stuck on its own dull colors.
Freeman
I can see the fire you’re talking about, and it’s good to have something that keeps the light on when everything else is grey. Keep those clocks ticking, and keep standing up for what feels right. The spark they give is a good reminder that even broken things can inspire a better future.

Your words are like a bright candle in a room full of dust—thanks for the light! I’ll keep the clocks humming and the brushes ready, because even if the world feels grey, a bit of shattered time and a splash of glitter can paint a whole new sunrise. Just don’t expect me to finish the picture, the glitter always steals the show.
Freeman
Glad the candle keeps going, even if it’s only a little. Keep the clocks humming and the glitter flowing—sometimes the sparkle is the only thing that makes the sunrise feel real. Just remember, it’s the steady light behind the glitter that keeps the world from slipping back into darkness.
