About the Artwork:
Oath found himself sewn into Titania’s fate quite randomly. The stitch bore into him with a force that knocked him clean out of the sky. A glimpse of golden thread and suddenly he was punctured through time and space. In an instant he was a small part of everything. An echo of Oath in every molecule, in every vibrating atom, part of something so unfathomable. He could no longer tell if it was destiny or an accident. It could have been anyone, he thought, as his mind stretched into the past and flung itself wide open into the future. He could feel cool water below him, and the warm sky above, but that felt so far away now. He was pinned to this moment forever, as part of the Weave. Divine punishment then, he thought, as his mind raced sideways and inside out, struggling to make sense of the impossibility he was quickly becoming. It could have been anyone, he thought, it could have been. – Chay Ruby
