Regular visitors here have had some experience with the sheer brilliance that is Phil Hansen.

For this particular art piece, Hansen circulated his telephone number on the Internet and asked people to call him and describe a life-changing moment. He wrote down the moments on his canvas, and the words were arranged to form a breathtaking picture.

The piece took 136 hours to do, and he paused only to take rest-room breaks. The time-lapse and speeding is extremely effective in summarizing the whole project, while maintaining its magnificence. Seeing the work in progress enhances the effect of the art-piece.

The work is a wonderful mix of spontaneity and meticulous planning, and is truly inspirational.
