This piece holds a profound and personal emotional resonance. Nine billiard balls are thoughtfully arranged on the canvas - eight '3' balls and a solitary black eight. The black eight serves as a poignant symbol, signifying the closure and commencement intrinsic to a game. Adjacent to this arrangement, a cue stick leans against the canvas, serving as a visual metaphor. It represents your agency in the game of life - you are the one in control, empowered to shape your destiny. With the cue in your hands, the narrative of your life unfolds, poised at the intersection of decisions and potential.
