The Anchorage Accord #1· Aug 17, 2025

This artwork symbolizes the proposed territorial concessions in Ukraine, depicting the leaders of Russia and the United States negotiating over a fractured map of the absent nation. The high-angle perspective frames the scene as a cold, strategic game of geopolitical chess, with the stark Alaskan environment mirroring the 'frozen' nature of the proposed conflict line. The single red accent cutting across the map represents the violent and permanent nature of the new border being discussed, a stark contrast to the cold, muted tones of the negotiation.
