An hourglass and a snow globe sit on a sandy beach in front of the ocean. The hourglass is made of brass and filled with white sand that is slowly falling from the top bulb to the bottom bulb. The snow globe is spherical and contains a miniature Ferris wheel and what appears to be a building. It is also made of brass and rests on a stack of faux books. The ocean is calm with gentle waves breaking on the shore. The sky is cloudy. The image is taken from a low angle, emphasizing the objects in the foreground.
