Artist Statement

This piece is about the destruction of the ancient site of Palmyra in Syria by ISIL terrorists and the loss of ancient History and Art. The jar was aged and then blown up by us to create the jagged feeling of destruction. It contains the majestic ancient Tetrapylon that was destroyed. A background light adds a dramatic mood and hints at the moment of its sudden destruction.
