A ‘zeitgeist’, also known as the spirit of the times, is the embodiment of an epoch through significant characteristics and key events. The artwork is a discursive visual on the quantum theory radical entanglement to the laws of physics and time. The motifs, impression off scriptures and anatomical diagrams, are manifestations of milestone events that shaped the world as we know it. They can be experienced separately as imaginative embodiments, or harmoniously as a visual timeline of existence, temporal entanglement and their causal relationships in narrative form. Featured zeitgeists include Newton’s apple, the creation of man, the discovery of fire, and others in their predicative forms.
