It’s that time of year again… not much to add, except that my path was meant to document this moment. Be well,

Description: On Sept. 10, 2001, I filmed the views from my studio on the 92nd floor of Tower 1 at the World Trade Center, originally intended for A_Maze, a piece I was working on at the time. The film depicts a thunderstorm from what would be the last day the towers stood. That evening I left close to midnight taking with me the mini DV tape along with some inkjet prints. The following morning during the tragic events, fellow artist Michael Richards lost his life. Seven hours of time-lapse footage have been condensed into a 5-minute document in Richards' memory.

The phrase means that events, particularly death, do not happen before their destined time, it conveys the idea that things happen when they are meant to, not earlier.
