When examining graphical representations of time throughout history, we frequently employ the linear metaphor, like 'timeline' or the ticks of seconds and minutes on a physical clock.

I utilized retinal variables of a line, such as size, position, and color, to represent different aspects of time. The entire canvas is divided into two parts: foreground and background. Squares in the foreground indicate calendar values, while elements in the background represent clock time values. Each month is represented by the number of lines left inside the square that creates the pattern (e.g., 12 * 2 lines for January). The fullness of the moon is depicted by the thickness of a pill shape, and the day of the week is represented by a differently oriented pill shape. In the background, the left line serves as the second's indicator, with its X coordinates moving 13 units towards the right margin as 'seconds' progress. The right line is the minute's indicator, and the width of the line grows as 'minutes' progress.
