The Night Watch is a scene suspended in time, soaked in mystery and quiet contemplation. A woman with multicolored striped skin drifts in a bubble bath, her hair swirls on the water like tendrils of thought. The late-night hour—2:22 AM—ticks on the wall, marked by the unblinking stare of a Kit-Cat clock whose cartoonish eyes bulge with an almost knowing presence. Its reflection in the mirror only doubles the eerie sense of observation.
Has she been here for hours, lost in reverie? Is she just now deciding to leave the warmth of the water? Her fingers clutch the edge of the tub, a gesture caught between relaxation and departure. Outside, the dark night lingers, punctuated by the soft bloom of hollyhocks in the open window—a quiet contrast to the retro yellow daisy tiles that surround her. The Night Watch is both intimate and cinematic, an invitation into a world where time bends, solitude lingers, and the watcher may not be as lifeless as it seems.
