This is the first of three artworks that I had no intention of finishing and uploading to my gallery but am now doing so because I made an agreement with that each of us would submit an artwork that we decided to leave on our hard disk for various reasons.

Hands Of Time: One of the following or similar situation has or is happening to you:

You are trapped in a loveless marriage/relationship that isn't working because of one or more of the following reasons: violence, cruelty, infidelity, boredom, lack of love etcetera. For whatever reason, you wish you had never met him/her because it was a mistake that changed you and your life forever.
You made bad life/career choices and/or decisions that changed the course of your life for the worse and given the opportunity, you would never make the same decisions or choices again.

You are bored with school and study and can't wait to get on with the rest of your life.
You have suffered the loss of someone close to you and feel that you cannot continue life without them.
Your heart is broken and by finding someone new and worthwhile, you hope that the new memories you make will fade and eventually make you forget the painful ones.
You are ill and each day is a struggle and you willl have to have surgery, which terrifies you.
You can either go forward in time or backwards in time but as with most quick fixes, there are positives and negatives.
You do not return to the past with a memory of what happened to you in the future, although you retain some residual memory that reacts like dejuvu or a sixth sense that may protect you if you heed the warnings.
If you travel backwards in time prior to the decision or event that changed your life for the worse, you are still the same person and there is a very good chance you may make exactly the same decision again.
If you go forward into the future to avoid unbearable emotional pain, time may not heal all wonds but it does help coping mechanisms and fade the edges of loss to where you are able to concentrate on the good memories and the love you shared. The down side of this is that any good things that happened to you in the time you avoided are only a faded memory and do not feel like a real experiences.
If you go forward to avoid physical pain, then your timing must be precise and there are always variables that could actually make the situation worse.
If you go forward to end your school years, the marks you will achieve will be determined by the person you are at the time of the travel not by the person you may become.
Would you still take the chance and travel through time?
