"HET BONHE"
Flattened grass. 12'x60'. Littleton, CO. 2022.
This piece aims to give a voice to the citizens standing up against tyranny and destruction. Nature always overruns land art with time. It overruns the rubbles of a war-torn country. It will overrun civilization long after we are gone. This earthwork may only be visible for a couple of weeks; the signs may only be held up for a couple of seconds; the remnants of a devastating war may only be visible for a couple of decades. But one thing remains true… human lives will never be restored. Facts will never be forgotten. Invasions will not be tolerated. Freedom will prevail.
The piece was created by continuously walking back and forth for several hours. Each letter measures roughly 12’x6’. Letters are slightly exaggerated in Adobe Lightroom for clarity. The words read: “No to War”. I will provide follow-up images regarding the status of the land. Hopefully, the war is over before the piece fades away. These images were minted as a charity NFT with all proceeds benefiting Ukraine.
