This is always weighing heavily on my mind as I sit and watch the ones that have come before me die off. This is why I chose to have two hourglasses, one almost full and the other one almost empty. In the middle of the two hourglasses I chose to put a hanging fruit scale but with a clock instead of a scale reader to show the weight of time. I then put a tombstone which reads \"D B.I.\", Death By Incarceration and also handcuffs in the scale basket. I used a light blue color and added the clouds to help show these are my thoughts.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVincent Hatcher was born in 1979 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he is currently serving a life sentence in prison. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring his incarceration, while employed in the paint shop at SCI Graterford, he began exploring painting, quickly developing skills in watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, and markers.
