A Precarious Pact #3· Aug 19, 2025

This artwork portrays the high-stakes Ukraine peace summit as a tense, strategic negotiation. Figures representing the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents maneuver fractured territorial pieces across a tilting table, symbolizing the difficult compromises and 'territorial swaps' being discussed. A glowing, semi-transparent shield hovering over the Ukrainian side represents the proposed 'Article V-like' security guarantees, while the precarious balance of the entire scene captures the mix of hope and skepticism surrounding the diplomatic effort.
