The "Ink Calendar" by Oscar Diaz is one of the most unique and inspiring pieces of design I have seen this year. Made of embossed paper, this calendar soaks up the ink out of the jar and slowly spreads throughout the cut-out numbers as the days pass. Each jar is labeled with a month, and each color relates to our perceptions of the weather during each month. The calendar allows the viewer to become more aware and contemplative on the idea of "time passing by" instead of simply seeing the date as a deadline or a unit of measurement. The bold colors against a white wall create a very visually appealing design, and the idea of the art continually transforming itself is a great way to stress how time and change go hand in hand. So hurry up and try and get your hands on this unique piece before your time has passed.
