As a time traveler, you have to think about the past and the possibilities of rewriting history. Having the opportunity, how could you not attempt to steer fate; even knowing that you are bound to create disasters trying to unweave the threads of destiny.

Attempting to maintain your mental wellbeing while time travelling would be a great challenge. There are the foreseen consequences: disorientation, erosion of a self, the constant prospect of catastrophic temporal disruption. There would be other worries too; these would be the unforeseen problems: cultural differences, adjusting to life without artificial light, sugar withdrawal, hygienic adjustments and the loneliness of dealing with people who have a completely different frame of reference. Assuming you had some reason or mission to accomplish while time traveling, there would be the stress of achieving this goal added to your burden.

The Forces of Destiny and No Way, Genie painting series imagine the confluences and collisions of fate, myth, personal lineage and the peculiar consequences of unlimited wish fulfillment.
