What the Future Holds
Artist Statement:
With so much going on in our world today people may be too focused on changing the past or worrying about the future. Here, we see someone contemplating their future, trying to look into the crystal ball to see what will happen, but it just twists and turns, leading us into the unknown. So as we try and look into the ball to see what the future holds, let’s just enjoy the moment.
