Block Universe

This sculpture was created with a prayer for freedom from time. In its creation, I drew inspiration from Einstein's concept of block universe theory and the following words he sent upon the death of his friend Michele Besso.

"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion" -- Albert Einstein

The bronze sections were created by measuring the winds blowing down upon Kiyoharu Art Colony, where this work is installed, and converting them into three-dimensional forms. The substantial pedestal uses Hirukawa stone from the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago. This work holds the coexistence of past, present, and future time. And it is also my future grave.
