Ascension/Descension Graph # 01 (2020) was created in New York during the COVID-19 quarantine. The artist's signature medium, neon, approaches the idea of a memorial as a graph. The graph, a measurement instrument over a set of time, communicates all things that accumulate: time, values, temperatures and people. Borrowing from the simulated language of values, the artist depicts a metaphoric dehumanization of the individual. Cycles of change are indexed according to yield and productive force, reducing the communal memory to data. The steep, dual, neon lines appear as cobalt arrows in flight, resembling corporate and scientific graphs. The graph exists as a motion of loss in both directions. In velocity of ascension, we find an act of rebirth - a point of departure rising from the ashes; while during a pandemic, with the number of deaths rising over time, it signifies an act of descension below a celestial horizon - death. The graph serves as a dualistic reminder of the vain fragility under which we live. Humanity has been exhausted by man-made destruction, driven by corporate greed, political malign, plutocratic rulership and insufficient preservation of our natural resources. Today, we live with the results of these erroneous value choices where a graph depicts both an edge and a border of no return. One’s physical point of reference determines the understanding of this work - whether the composition is ascending or descending. A line can rise above its literal meaning, becoming impossible to erase from one's memory. It implies descension into nothingness or the rise to infinity.
