Artist Statement:

From birth to death, we go through different stages. We have good and less good things happening in life; days with more colors and days with fewer colors. We have periods in life where life goes up and days where it goes down. Sometimes we decide to go right an other days we go left. Nobody knows what life's journey will bring us, the only thing that is for sure is there is No return. We simply have to follow the path. This I have shown with the arrows quilted around the colored bubbles.
