"Scheduled Joy (5 mins left)"

In a world ruled by deadlines and digital planners, Scheduled Joy (5 mins left) captures the quiet tension of trying to feel alive on a timer.

Set inside a room made entirely of calendars, charts, and sticky notes, a lone balloon animal floats midair—its pastel glow soft and fleeting. Above it, a cold countdown ticks down from five minutes, casting urgency over a moment meant for peace.

This surreal print is a meditation on productivity addiction, fleeting pleasure, and the fragility of spontaneity. The symmetry is unnerving. The walls are too tidy. The joy is too brief.

The balloon is a symbol of childhood joy caught in an adult structure.

The timer reminds us how rest has become another thing to schedule.

The pastel palette soothes, even as it reveals emotional exhaustion.

For those who’ve ever blocked out “self-care” on a calendar and felt it vanish the moment it began—this is for you.
