#2. Chaos - Momentarily at Rest
- '...and if a single image could suffice to capture the geopolitical drama of this moment in the world, this would be it. Never to make light of the medical misfortunes of actual human beings...but here lies Steven Woolfe. Of British, Irish, African-American and Jewish descent and yet, would-be leader of Anti-Immigration party UKIP. Sucker-punched & collapsed upon the floor of the European Union building. The result of shady, internal fracas. Blow delivered courtesy of fellow Brexiteer 'Hookem'. A single visual metaphor for a tsunami of catastrophe unfolding on the global stage: From the tanking of the British pound, to the pounding of Aleppo to the pummeling of Haiti whilst climate change denial prevails, to the collapse of peace referendum in Colombia, to the unrepentant hurricane of sexual predation etched in every orange vein of one trumped up Republican candidate on the perilous war-path to 'Make America Great Again'.
This lone visual captures chaos, momentarily at rest.' -
