The idea of chance is an ever uncoiling and unraveling experience. Every single decision made explicitly or implicitly affects the trajectory of life. Usually one may hope for a life beyond drudgery or dream of a future free of burden. The lottery offers this route for everyone for a small fee and high degree improbability. What is it, then, that elicits the excitement of this activity? The rush, maybe. A quick exchange that builds excitement and encourages dreams.

This is not a fixture set only on the lottery or gambling. Experiencing the thrill of risk, chance, luck, hope, and even loss is part of what life is about. Another part - experiencing peace, freedom, solace, and sitting in reflection is what initiated me to arrange these collages from second hand losing lottery tickets. Each work is related to symbol of sorts to do with chance, luck, hope, and more.
