Time is invisible to us but real. It is often said in traditional Chinese language: time is squeezed out.This means that we should seize the time and make more time to do something. Is there a way to visually show the meaning of time and the feeling of being "squeezed out "? I try to visualize this intense feeling--- time can be like a bouncy ball held tightly by our hands. Through the squeezing of hands, “time” is thus displayed. And we can realize the existence of time in a moment. The movement and psychological perception of squeezing will make people feel pleasantly surprised and relaxed, which cannot help making people associate with the meaning of time.
