My father used to put 5 small alarm clocks on top of our bulky TV set at home in Teluk Intan. Each displays the times of solat (prayer) - I for isya', S for subuh, L for lohor or zuhur in Perak slang, A for asar & M for maghrib.
The teaching is subtle, yet very effective. It can also b read as a form of creative intervention, with a touch of irony & perhaps parody or even cynicism. Yet it made me more aware of the value of time.
Time, according to quantum physics, creates space. Time & space exist through our consciousness, our minds & feelings, our memories. If we are unaware (not praying), we can be prisoned, drowned & carried away by time & space, by the noises of our own minds & feelings (similar to noises on TV or the mass media). My father used the terms 'lagho' or 'lalai'. His simple act of placing those alarm clocks on the TV set was probably driven by his loving & caring concern. He didnt want his children to get carried away by such noises.
My father left his children with lots of lecture notes mostly in jawi. One example is on how Allah sees our actions & our hearts, not what we own & how we look. Amongst his last written words (he cant speak when he was hospitalized) few days before he passed away are "panggil isteri saya" (call my wife) and "salam kepada anak2" (regards to my children).
Im putting up an installation version of the project 'H3RO'.

The installation version is going to b a part of OASIS, an exhibition of works by the lecturers of the School of The Arts, USM. Do come & visit. @ Muzium & Galeri Tuanku Fauziah, USM
