Taken from the ever-growing crypto lexicon, the title of this artwork refers to that possible moment in the future when Ethereum (or another altcoin) might overtake Bitcoin as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Bitcoin has been in the forefront of the cryptocurrency movement since its inception and has the highest market cap of any digital currency right now. The crypto compare forums are a abuzz from the excitement of the potential that Bitcoin might be eventually dethroned from being the king of cryptocurrency and Ethereum will eventually lead the charge on cryptocurrency’s real-world use potential.   

This artwork not only refers to a possible seismic moment in the future of cryptocurrency that can lead to numerous traders making or losing millions, but also refers to the unpredictability of the future and how our lives can be shaped by future events that we have no control over. A universal symbol of time and future, the hourglass in the artwork flips and twirls in space with the sands of time within flowing in complete uncertainty.  With the flipping of the colourful hourglass, we are confronted with the in dominatable force of the future and made to question whether we are prepared for a “flippening” to change the course of our lives.
