Description
In Greek mythology, the Moirai or Moerae, often in English usually known as the Fates, were the incarnations of destiny; their Roman equivalent was the Parcae.
The gods and men had to submit to them, although Zeus's relationship with them is a matter of debate: some sources say he is the only one who can command them (the Zeus Moiragetes), yet others suggest he was also bound to the Moirai's dictates.
But that's not the end of the story. There is a difference between fate and destiny. Destiny is related to men, fate is in relationship with the entire universe: men, things, world, gods and more.
In some cultures, others than Greek, thera are similar entities, as the Moirai, representing the whole fate of the world (universe), rather than destiny of singles.
And today? the debate speaking of the differences between fate and destiny is still actual. From philosophy to cosmology, from psychology to religions, none final disclosure has been reached. But the question concerns us everybody. Perhaps it is time to devote on the subject a serious search... if it isn't too late!
Because who can know that fate is already established? Who hold the final destiny of the universe, of the world... and all of us?

Bruce Lee once said: "Circumstances? Hell, I´ll make the circumstances!" Same to destiny... Or not...?

Something dramatically catastrophic represented by such a seemingly sweet image. This seems to be the distinctive feature of some of your works. Works that are latest annually and are related to a specific date: August 17. There is also something in this choice that frightens me a bit.

It is a beautiful idea to represent the Fates spinning the destiny of the world, or of humanity. I think we could better understand what fate may be by comparing it to a trajectory in the ballistic sense: events are like projectiles. If we know the weight and the speed of a projectile, we can predict its point of impact. It is the same with the events. Every event, every individual act determines the future of the individual and of humanity, but this destiny is always in motion and is constantly re-initialized. It can therefore change. Provided that humanity changes its way of being ... Magnificent work ! Bravo !

I see quite a lot coming together here; the Wheel of Life, the Universe, the Stars, Life, Death, the Ages of Humanity. Great to see them in harmony. The Ball of Yarn is a great personal insight. Beautifully done.
