MEDITATION on “Robin X” by David McNamara
MURAL “Robin X” by Michael Fusco and Christina Fusco
Kingston-based artist Michael Fusco says the O+ theme of “X” made him think deeply about the climate change crisis and its potential for mass extinctions. “Normally this makes us think of endangered or rare species, but I wanted the viewer to imagine a world where future generations can only view our common Robin as a fossilized artifact,” Fusco says. “I hope this reminds us all to enjoy the beauty all around, no matter how common or easily overlooked.”
