Journey to the Future: Reflecting on the Chernobyl Series Exhibition at UpNorth Art Society



As the doors of UpNorth Art Society close on a transformative month-long journey, I find myself reflecting on the incredible experience that was the Chernobyl Series exhibition. The project, which took visitors into a future world where nature has reclaimed our civilization, aimed to provoke contemplation on the delicate balance between humanity and the environment.


First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to UpNorth Art Society for hosting and supporting this endeavor. Their commitment to showcasing thought-provoking art has provided a platform for meaningful conversations about the world we live in and the one we may face in the future. The gallery's dedication to the arts is a beacon that allows artists like myself to explore unconventional themes and challenge the status quo.


The response from the community has been overwhelming and heartening. To the hundreds of individuals who took the time to visit the exhibition, I extend my sincere thanks. Your engagement and curiosity turned this artistic endeavor into a shared experience. It's inspiring to see how art has the power to bring people together and stimulate conversations about the world we inhabit.


Behind every successful project are the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes. I want to extend a special thank you to all my helpers, the individuals who contributed their time, energy, and expertise to bring the Chernobyl Series to life. Your dedication has been the driving force behind the success of this exhibition.



To my friends and family, who have been my pillars of support throughout this journey, I am profoundly grateful. Your encouragement, constructive criticism, and unwavering belief in my vision have fueled my creative spirit. This project would not have been possible without your love and support.


As the Chernobyl Series exhibition concludes, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude. This journey into a speculative future was made possible by the collective effort of the gallery, the community, and my support network. The conversations sparked and the emotions evoked during this month will resonate with me as an artist, and I hope they continue to linger in the minds of those who experienced the exhibition.



Art has the power to transport us to different worlds, challenge our perspectives, and foster connections. The success of the Chernobyl Series is a testament to the enduring impact of art in sparking meaningful dialogue about our relationship with the environment and the potential futures that await us. As we close this chapter, I am eager to see where the next artistic journey will lead, and I am grateful to have shared this one with all of you.


Looking ahead, I am excited to share that UpNorth Art Society will continue to represent and sell the Chernobyl Series. For those interested in bringing a piece of this journey into their homes or spaces, you can find the collection here.
