The Recovery of Time is the 2019 recipient of the International Art Prize.

The painting depicts the restoration of time and conveys that the restoration of time gives us two chances to re-realize our dreams.

The rusted wheel and disassembled clock symbolize the loss of time, crushed dreams and hopes.

The perfect gold and silver of the clock's scale plate and wheels indicate the transition between lost time and starting over in life.




Szuen has created this piece in 2019 to depict the good news that time and opportunities that are lost in crisis are restored once again supernaturally. the rusted watches and shattered clock faces depicts the losses and the renewed gold watches symbolize restoration of time and gains.

She aims to achieve an outcome that depicts love, hope and faith for those pining for miraculous restoration.
What has been created in the art will manifest in the real life of the viewer.

Using a combination of materials such as gold, clay and detailed chalk painting coupled with special effects, this piece has won good reviews at the winning international art award holders' public exhibition held in Aug 2019 in Singapore.
