The Motel Clock is a surreal, altered item featuring a distorted timepiece with a cracked, yellowed face and numbers that seem to shift when not directly observed. The clock's hands move erratically, sometimes backwards, embedded in a heavy, Brutalist-style metal casing with sharp, angular edges and a matte black finish. The surface shows signs of wear, with scratches and dents suggesting it has been through unexplained events, while a faint, eerie glow emanates from within its cracks.
