This piece is a stop motion animation made by stitching photographs of an acrylic painting I painted for a series called "Patients of Time" while I lived in a remote Himalayan valley. The candid audio recording is credited to NFN Kalyan, a great artist and an honest human being whose views regarding human endeavours and our developmental arc with the passage of time as the telling factor are represented in his extensively immersive body of work.

When I made the piece back in June 2020, I clicked photographs to document the process as I assessed my time in the valley - the beautiful as well as the ugly. One must address the contrasting nature of their experiences to find their true essence. The entire series deals with such contrasting concepts, mainly sun & moon; sea salt and caramel; launches and landings; uppers and downers; shades & shadows.

Bonus offerings to the primary owner of the Non-fuckwithable token:

1. Access to a folder containing a hi-res .MOV file for the NFT

2. A custom vinyl record hand-painted by me with a colour palette of their choice (we'll discuss shipping via email if you'd like to receive the physical artwork)

3. A folder called "Test of Time" containing a few timeless moments from my stint up in the valley (2017-2020). The folder will initially come with 12 sub-folders containing files, followed by 1 new sub-folder on the 15th of every month until June 15th, 2024 (that's 50 sub-folders in total - photos and/or videos)

PS: Due to some issues with the wallets acting up, the price was dropped from the original price of 0.369 ETH to make it available to the collector. I would like to address this matter now (July 23, 2021) so that there’s no foul play perceived. If you still think there is, I can't really help you. Cheers
