Patti Warashina: The World Upside Down, 2022-2024

In this series of works called “The World Upside Down,” I view the earth as an uncontrolled symbolic, spinning “ceramic wheel” in space to give a glimpse of looking at our planet from above. To me the figures represent “human consciousness” observing and experiencing the realization of possible escape from annihilation portrayed through dreamlike, cosmic scenarios, using current and future space technology. These figures have become the actors in my introspective narratives, as a way of escaping the doubts and disharmony of human nature and its routines, by role-playing scenarios to my liking….much like a child playing with dolls.
