Invasion
This artwork is the result of a collaboration between music and visual art. The classic red color for the industrial combines with rich black flecks to create a sense of tension and danger, hot air, and omnipresent fire. The bright yellow highlights highlight the metal fittings and give a sense of the intimacy of the tongues of flame. The image of the plague doctor shows just how invasive the incoming army is. The devastation and casualties of this plague are immense. This is a Hi-Res 7900x7900 px artwork.
The story behind the song is: "Russian warship, go f@*k yourself" was the last communication made on 24 February 2022 during the Russian attack on Snake Island in Ukraine's territorial waters by border guard Roman Hrybov to the Russian missile cruiser Moskva. The phrase, and derivatives of the phrase, became widely adopted during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine in protests and demonstrations around the world. Weeks later, the phrase was commemorated on a postage stamp by Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian postal service. The Ukrainian border guards were originally believed to be all killed, but Hrybov was later confirmed by Ukraine's navy to be "alive and well" and had been captured by the Russian Navy in the attack. During Hrybov's captivity, his family applied for a defensive trademark on the slogan. On his release, Hrybov was awarded a medal for his actions at the end of March. On 13 April 2022, one day after the first issue of the commemorative stamp, the Moskva was critically damaged by an explosion caused by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles and sank the following day. Ukrposhta responded to this event by releasing an altered version of the postmark soon after, with the warship removed from the scene.
