This piece references the Greek mythological divinities, The Fates. The Fates preside over human life, and together they represent the inescapable destiny of humanity. The golden thread represents each person's life and destiny that The Fates spin on their wheel. The three Fates are floating in the abstract; one who starts spinning the thread of fate when a human is conceived, one who dispenses the thread during a person's lifetime, and the one who cuts the thread, determining the person's moment of death. This piece aims to capture their personification of the birth, life, and death of humankind.
