24 Hours

24 Hours

This art is the relationship between order and chaos, with time representing order. Time moves horizontally as the uniform panels at the center spread from left to right. The intervals that the 24 panels create are equal, and they make up the consistent 24 hours in each day, though with time comes infinite possibilities, which are the swirling shapes representing chaos that stem from the order of time. This chaos that bridges from time is a repeated pattern, the light behind the puzzle representing sunlight that begins and ends every day.

After reading a book series about time travelers before making this art, I thought about the pieces as moving through/affecting different points in time physically. In the real world, these squiggles could be ideas that come together over time, arching over initially unconnected thoughts that lead to a conclusion, or events in the past or future that become significant because of what happened in another time, and the way that they fit together perfectly, even raised at different heights, is what I consider to be luck, fate, or hope; The idea that everything will work out if given time.
