“This painting represents the thoughts of Death By Incarceration that I deal with everyday. This is always weighing heavily on my mind as I sit and watch the ones that have come before me die off. This is why I chose to have two hourglasses, one almost full and the other one almost empty. In the middle of the two hourglasses I chose to put a hanging fruit scale but with a clock instead of a scale reader to show the weight of time. I then put a tombstone which reads "D B.I.", Death By Incarceration and also handcuffs in the scale basket. I used a light blue color and added the clouds to help show these are my thoughts.”
