The Airport - NEXUS I

This chronological collection (NEXUS I - the first in the NEXUS series) was created in 2012 in the Congo (D.R.C.). The imagery depicts Congolese exploring abandoned planes at Goma airport. I would often drive by and see the planes, now no longer there, which were inside a military installation. But during the M23 war, the Congolese military fled the city. So one afternoon, we drove past and saw some Congolese walking and playing on the airplanes. We made our way to the planes and spent two hours there, among my best memories from the D.R.C. The planes and all they represent (privilege, opportunity, freedom, etc) had become seemingly powerless. After millions of deaths in the deadliest conflict worldwide since World War II, the strength, spirit and resilience of the Congolese continues to shine through. Published and exhibited internationally, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of these NFTs will go to humanitarian organizations operating on the ground inside D.R.C.
