 "Golden Pointer Series"

​

From a single point of God's creation of Adam to the click of a pointer on a screen, fingers have always had magical powers.

We use our fingers for directions, arrows for conversation and swipes to navigate.

The mouse disappears, and swiping the screen leaves no trace, sometimes caught in Midas' dilemma.

Everyone has the power of gold pointing, and the power will pass on indefinitely whether they want it to or not. Like a phone screen that is turned off will still reflect a phantom of yourself. It is in the touch of darkness that the stars shine. It is gold that makes the rollers roll, and it is gold that makes them stop. The alchemist is as important as the golden pointer.

But where are the stones? Or where is the touchstone?
