_Captain’s_Log_02_2022, 2022<br />
Assemblage Sculpture w/ Repurposed Materials, 15.5” x 21” x 3”<br />
“Captain’s_Log_02_2022” vividly portrays a time-traveling<br />
spaceship captain observing Earth’s transition from recovery<br />
after COVID to devastation, triggered by the Ukraine-Russia<br />
conflict that commenced in February 2022. The artwork captures<br />
the initial sense of hopefulness following the pandemic, which<br />
is abruptly shattered by the outbreak of a violent conflict that<br />
profoundly impacts Ukraine’s fate. The mention of a potential<br />
“Deus-Ex-Machina” event introduces an element of uncertainty<br />
to the narrative, leaving the captain with unanswered questions<br />
about Earth’s ultimate fate. He remains distant from the unfolding<br />
events, unable to ascertain the final outcome.<br />
