“Probable Reality”

In this present moment of time, the future that will follow can be expressed in terms of probabilities. Probabilities in the sense that many things could happen, but only one will come to pass (so to speak). What we will experience depends largely on which way our perceptions are pointing and on the actions we take. So, and this is the subject of "Probable Reality", what is going on with those possible futures that did not manifest? On some level, I think those unrealized paths may still exist, and maybe even evolve in their own way.


To show this I carved four sections of geometric shapes. In each section, the shapes are presented in different orders (I did this to establish the differences between the sections). The painting is exactly like the order in the bottom left , linking one of the four carved sections to the larger imagery.
