“Masa’s work is a magnifier for a too close future where our planet will be unrecognizable. It is a desperate but poetic attempt to hang onto a reality that is changing at the speed of light in the face of worldwide political indifference. Masa is a creator of contemporary artifacts of the future that are in truth laments for our past. His 2020 project for the International Space Station was a brilliant and creative call to celebrate and save what is left of our endangered planet earth, an exceptional exercise in survival, a last minute effort to create a space of resistance, a space of hope.”
