Eurasian Fulcrum #17· Sep 2, 2025

This artwork portrays the SCO summit's united front through the powerful, low-angle depiction of leaders Xi, Putin, and Modi standing as a single, monumental bloc. Their shared platform symbolizes the rising Eurasian alliance, while the fractured classical column in the background represents their direct challenge to the Western-led global order. The stark, limited palette with a bold crimson accent underscores the serious, confrontational tone of the summit and the strategic weight of this geopolitical shift.
