Strings of fate
Strings of Fate is a minimalist series of mixed media work. This work abstracts personal relationships in Hentges' life into simple line drawings. Each thread represents a person, the start of the thread their birth and the end present day, or the day of their passing. The golden areas honor the duration of their relationship with the artist.
Hentges found inspiration from Greek myth of the Three Fates. They control the length of your life by winding a string and when they decide to cut it, you die.
