Abstract
Everything started with the map. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, global news agencies, intelligence agencies, independent cartographers, and investigative journalists have pored over the map. They all seek to create the simplest, most understandable, and visually appealing map to explain the complex realities of this brutal, unprovoked war. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is being monitored by the watchful eyes of commercial satellites like no other conflict before. That is why the focus of this project is on the satellite infrastructure. The project straddles both the deeply personal realm and the domain of scientific observations, deductions, and results. The research focuses on the destruction of the Kakhovska Dam, which happened on 6 June 2023 and holds significant environmental implications. The Earth is covered by natural and human made disasters. If we wish to develop as a real civilization and not to destroy ourselves, it is time to unite and change the standards from consumption to creative. By weaving together art and science, this project seeks to shed new light on complex issues and foster a deeper understanding of the world around us.
