A large, approximately 3-4 meter tall, black-framed hourglass sculpture stands prominently in a paved plaza identified as being in front of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in Tel-Aviv, Israel. The hourglass's upper transparent bulb contains a small amount of pale red granular material, while the lower bulb is significantly filled with a dark red, sand-like substance, indicating time running down. A black sign atop the frame displays the Hebrew text "החטופים עדיין שם" (The hostages are still there) in pink lettering. A corresponding black sign at the bottom of the frame reads "HOSTAGES are still there," with "HOSTAGES" in pink. Several Israeli flags are attached to the left vertical frame support, fluttering gently. Yellow caution tape is loosely wrapped around the right vertical support of the structure. The sculpture rests on a concrete base atop a light-colored paved square. To the left and rear, an outdoor cafe area is visible with multiple white, folded patio umbrellas and dark seating, surrounded by green foliage and trees. Further left, distant urban buildings are seen. To the right and rear, the beige, multi-story facade of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art building is discernible, with palm trees in the mid-ground. A white tent structure is erected near the museum's entrance, where a single, distant individual is barely visible. The sky is uniformly overcast. The paving appears damp, suggesting recent precipitation.
