Mission
Agnieszka Pilat to Unveil New Painting
The artwork will commemorate the shared mission of Poland, Ukraine, and the United States following the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion, and the battle for democratic values all have undertaken. The painting was completed with the assistance of Boston Dynamics' Spot robot, a subtle nod to the role that new technology is playing in shaping the war's outcome, and the rapid coordination between all three countries.
As a Polish-born artist who grew up in the shadow of the Soviet Union, the United States was an inspiration for freedom.
