Taking back history (2019)

Title: Taking Back History?
Year: 2019
Medium: Ink on paper
Measurements: 21cm x 29.7cm
This second act closes in the circle making it into a triangular sneak-peek on our appreciation of the old, Antiquity and how we abandoned more natural organic materials like stone for polluting agents such as plastic. Were certain inventions progress or mere destructive chemical chimeras? If we do not acknowledge and cease moments instead of trying to forget, defacing monuments and ultimately rewriting by expunging taboo and now politically incorrect individuals, events and behaviours from the past, history is bound to repeat itself. Bygone times and artefacts have been forgotten into disrepair as well as being razed as a message of terror, vandalism and social coups with their purport lost to the ages and our connection severed with whatever or whomever gave mankind the knowledge and parameters for such ingenious engineering. 
Various cultures around the globe share common depictions of extraterrestrial beings helping them construct advanced and elaborate mechanisms which could keep a calendar, predict the future, navigate constellations, mathematic equations, a recently discovered super computer made out of rock, or that Easter Islands’ monumental heads are somehow batteries connected by tectonic plates which power Stone Henge. It could even be that all Ancient Wonders are just pieces in a puzzle which make Earth one colossal biological space shuttle and we, throughout time, abandoned our given assignment.

Why a triangle? As one of the oldest primary and natural shapes to take the form of architectural structures, instruments, ideas and wonders I only saw it fit for a triangle to accommodate the simple imagery yet intricate and inspired doodle above.

All conspiracy theories and jokes aside, it would be pretty neat not to be alone in the universe as a species and find it quite presumptuous to think otherwise.
