Clepsydra (or water thief) is inspired by the ancient Roman water clock of the same name. This mechanism is a commentary on modern societys efforts to increase lifes speed, often in the name of efficiency. Even everyday water bottles have been enlisted in this effort, and are designed to allow multitasking.
