"Girl With Bomb" a protest wet plate against the war in Ukraine with my youngest daughter Mahliya Balkowitsch. My propmaster Laine Pope fabricated the bomb and designed the set. Chad Nodland was present to capture the "making of" photos. These ideas and concepts haunt me until I can bring them to life in silver on glass.  I had this concept of a child catching a bomb from out of the sky before it hit the ground.  I remember once saying "Art can be a weapon for change and we artists have the ability to wield it at will."

Vladimir Putin was unprovoked and attacked a sovereign nation.
