This artwork is my attempt to encapsulate and lock away all the bizarre 'unprecedented' events of last year into a creation that is an ode to the historic year of 2020. It can be exhausting living through historic event after historic event at the age of 22 in a world shut down due to a global pandemic. The ridiculousness of the situation prompted me to this therapeutic artwork so that I can always revisit it when I want to (and have the mental space for it), but am able to wrap these events away in anticipation of more 'precedented' times (because I miss my mundane life till 2019). 

From the ashes of broken countries and ages of broken men, the great year 2020 had risen. The problems weren't particularly new, neither were the warriors but when you look at this year from a perspective far away from that of the sufferer, barely anything seems real. From bugs destroying entire cities to the death of individuals at the hands of the protectors, the year seems to be the tipping point for mother earth. Cyclones, earthquakes, Gas leaks, Amazon fires, locust attacks, the Illuminati, World War 3 threats, all amidst a global pandemic that shut down the entire world. But at the same time, we have joined hands against the migration crisis and raised fists for Black lives matter. It truly has been an incredible year. Each bit of this piece has aimed at reflecting the series of overpowering calamities and paramount issues that the world is facing today. While in a utopia the truth of the world may seem far off from what surrealism is, 2020 has successfully questioned it all, and hopefully, I have too.
