Time for the Fall Time for the Winter
This art piece teaches us the unpredictability of fate and time .The power Doppler ultrasound of the kidneys shows a variation of the renal vasculature. On the left side the vascular system is abundant, while on the right side, just the skeleton of the veins is demonstrated. The artist saw this image as an opportunity to explore concepts such as opposites, abundance, paucity, situational changes, time, and life lessons. Relevant quotes include ?Make Hay while the Sun Shines? and ?Time for Every Every Season? . Artistically a sharp line differentiates the left side from the right. This abrupt change from the one season to the next infers unpredictable, and fateful situational change in life. In this case -there is a seasonal change, but the situation could just as easily reflect an abrupt change with the arrival of a devastating disease on the doorstep of life.
