That Part Is Mine

That Part Is Mine begins with the idea behind Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat — fortune favors the brave — but the work is less about fortune itself than about how we meet chance.

y the meanings we assign to fortune. But no matter how much meaning we give it, we cannot control the outcome. That is precisely why, though the outcome is unknown, bold movement is always possible.

I cannot control what happens. But I can decide how I move. That ownership — that part is mine.

Beauty comes from the meeting of accident and intention. But without the doing, there is nothing for chance to meet.
