I was part inspired by the mind blowing work of David Daniels (inventor of the strata-cut), whose work I would recommend to anyone.

 

Also heavily on my mind were illustrations of reincarnation in the Bhagavad-Gita, and the beings in Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five that see humans as long spaghetti-like chains of past and future, all at once. I started to imagine extra-dimensional creatures, that can view across multiple lifelines. As the viewer in this video piece, YOU are this extra dimensional observer. Travel through the chains forwards to see time as we know it; but why not try intersecting them diagonally to get a snapshot of past and present, all in one slice?
