This is similar to a Momento Mori from past times, inciting you, to think of life and death and to use your time wisely, as the sand from the hourglass slips so quickly. Through all your levels of existence and through your soul, and with time running through between them like an hourglass. It’s about the transience of life and the passing of time within us and to seize the day. It is a meditation on the cycle of life and the afterlife as well as the passing of time and our existence and of having of two souls within us, one conscious and one subconscious. These two souls come together and form one.
