In Greek mythology, the three fates’ combined powers were more powerful than even Zeus. The first fate is the spinner, spinning the thread of life. The second fate is the weaver creating the tapestry of your life and the third fate cuts the thread bringing your life to a close. I have been fascinated by the fates for a long time. I am not sure why. Perhaps it is having an entity that is in charge of the various components of life. Or maybe it is the realization that we do not have control of our lives. I have visited the theme of the three fates in several ways during my career. In college, I was interested in abstract composition and so the fates took the form of geometric shapes, triangles and squares.
