TIME: Unwinding The Spiral

This moment is unique yet familiar, because time doesn’t move in a straight line or a simple circle, but in a spiral: it revisits patterns from the past while moving outward into new forms.

“Time behaves like a spiral - repeating patterns while still moving forward - so every moment is both familiar and completely new.”
