[Artist Statement]

The Great Escape is a story of past (experience) and future (result), or of "us" in the simultaneous present, connecting, linking, transitioning, and continuing to move forward. A story of 32 sheets, or one stretched sheet.
We are all one, each and every one.
More and more,
Little by little.
