Three Fates

One lesson that has stuck with me from my short career as a day trader is that the value of an asset can move in three directions at any time: up, down, and sideways. That idea has sublimated into all the facets of my life, like a mantra. I’ve realized this is one of the reasons I am so hard on myself. 

I believe that each decision point in our lives is a hub that branches in three directions—action, both positive and negative, and inaction. The trend of one’s decisions leads to one of the three fates. 

The three waves in this piece have always tugged at my heart-strings. Nearly seven years after photographing it, I feel as though I have some idea as to why. 

Alan Watts said that a wave is in a constant state of becoming. That gives me some comfort because that means I can become a person who makes better decisions. I can change what feels like ages spent in the doldrums into a life of more significant action

About the editions: I print on a premium substrate that is unparalleled in depth and luminosity. The material refracts light in such a way that light travels laterally through the paper as well as reflects to the audience creating a brilliant effect that many mistake to be rear illumination. Each print is then face mounted to acrylic and sandwiched to a protective backing. The artwork is then framed or a recessed mount is added to the back to float on the wall. I offer many framing options on this website or you can collect the artwork and have it framed at your preferred framer. I recommend Three Fates to be framed in a narrow black or brown frame with three to five inches of white space. More arrangements are available. Liners are available in Black, White, Beige. See FRAMES in the menu above for more frames and liner options.
