Jet Lag Capture Plan was inspired by an eastbound flight which gave the passenger an illusion of earning a few hours due to jet lag. In fact, we all know that time is the fairest thing in the world. Flying westwards - we have lost it. Penny wise, pound foolish. We maybe be hungry for time, but it is more important what we do with time we have.

Tian Xu visualises the experience gathered through interviews in the form of hand-crafted watch faces illustrating the concept of gain and loss. Later extended from this series of watch faces is a spinning set of nails. The device spins to form the shape of a goblet trying to hold water, but the water is splashing, and the nails are starting to rust.
