As time marches on, don’t you feel more and more pressed for time? The beginning of anything always feels more expensive and full of potential than the end. This applies to all increments of time – days, weeks, decades. It even applies to one’s life stage.

For a child, days are endless. But to adult, there never seems to be enough space in a day. Squeezed reflects these perceptions of time, and is visualized here as a hanging wall calendar and weekly planner.

The skewed grid of the wall calendar contracts time over the span of a year. For the weekly planner, the shrinking days and weeks become nearly imperceptible.
