This print was produced for the 50th anniversary of The Kitchen Gallery, New York. The work explores the weapons of mass destruction which impact the global refugee crisis. Inspired by Weiwei's 2019 exhibition'History of Bombs' BOMBcharts the genealogy of the modern ballistic missile via 2D renderings. The bombs are organised by size, rather than time and development, as they crescendo from the bottom to the top of the sheet, the ballistics remind the viewer that bombs escalate conflict more often than they resolve it.
