Marking Time 1

This series uses a sub-atomic particle collision as a metaphor to mark time for transformation and change. February, 2022 marks the time that the United States experienced Pluto returning to the position it was in at the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. As humans, we will never experience a Pluto return, unless of course we live to be 248 years old. A Pluto return often results in a rise of power and the fall of empires as we are currently witnessing. The Pluto return began in 2020 and has unearth all the uncomfortable truths that America is currently facing through a global pandemic, civil unrest, a collapse of our justice system and democracy and cataclysmic climate events. It will shine a bright light on the breaking down of society so that we can amidst our differences, collectively see that it needs to change. —Elise Wagner
