Hands of Time (2023)

The Nature of Things can be interpreted in any way under the sun. Time in particular is a concept that I often think about, so I figured I'd try to convey its complexity in my piece. Hair is wrapped around each digit like strings to a puppet. Although each choice is ultimately yours, some believe the future is ultimately guided by the hands of time, for no one can stop time, nor may we escape its grasp. All we can do is live to cope in this endless existence, as we wither away with every passing second. With every passing tick of the clock.
