    The veil of time is a book in which each symbol represents 5,300 years, the entire history of human civilization The earth is 4.54 billion years old The book contains 856,604 symbols The work deals with scaling, about putting man in the context of the time of the earth The symbols are part of a specially designed system of writing divided by geological periods They slowly change throughout the book and become clearer as we approach the present because we know more about what is closest to us in time The work is an attempt to make this measure physical To hold it To feel what we are small and feel in that peace.<\/p>\n

    Curtains of Time is a book in which each symbol represents 5,300 years, the entire span of human civilization. Earth is 4.54 billion years old. The book contains 856,604 symbols. The work is about scale, placing humanity in the context of geological time. The symbols are part of a custom type system divided by geological eons. They slowly transform throughout the book, becoming more visible as we approach the present \u2014 because we know more about what is closest to us in time. The work is an attempt to make this scale physical. To hold it in your hands. To feel how small we are and to find peace in that.<\/p>\n
