systems that led to the Ukranian Revolution of 2014 and the subsequent Crimean
Crisis . Salazar-Caro constructs a triptych depicting Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama,
Viktor Yanukovych, Yulia Tymoshenko and Petro Poroshenko, in an attempt to spark a
conversation on power, politics, monuments and failed systems.
