Daily UI Challenge #014 - Countdown Timer

For this @Daily UI Challenge, I added a new constraint: no text whatsoever. Indeed, in several countries, like India, there are several official languages (22 in India's case). In a lot of places, minority linguistic groups are often marginalized, and services are only offered in the language(s) spoken by the majority. Moreover, even today, millions of people are not able to read, but we often design products based on the assumption that everyone is able to read. These two issues cause an important accessibility problem: we end up leaving behind groups that are already marginalized and that would benefit the most from certain services/products/apps. So, as a quick exercise, I decided to design a countdown timer without any text. Although it's virtually impossible to design everything without any text (nor necessarily helpful), it is definitely something I would like to continue exploring.
