after: “La Lutte” by Émile Friant, 1889
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been particularly struck by the staggering number of unintended consequences political (and typically military) actions tend to have for decades after they’re made. You’d think that we’ve been a country long enough to recognize that our decisions matter now AND in the future. We have enough data, enough history, to evaluate the trends accurately. And we can observe other nations’ consequences from afar and take heed.
But that’s not the context in which we live.
Our political leadership seems to be required to function in the “now.” We make decisions with concern for their effect on tomorrow, not next year.
And yet, time, space, nature, any number of cosmic-scaled phenomena don’t care about our myopia. Time knows that our behavior has ramifications. Whether we’d like it to or not, the battles we wage now influence the relationships of members of the next generations.
For this piece, I’ve stacked two boys wrestling in Émile Friant’s La Lutte into a diminishing pyramid. Early foundational actions are repeated through future generations, with each new layer becoming less than its ancestors simply because it continues a struggle without pause. The smaller figures simply imitate the maneuvers of their supporting predecessors, never looking upward or outward.
Decisions made by the base reduce the substance of the highest members of the lineage.

after: Henry Fawcett; Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett by Ford Made Brown, 1872
On November 7th, 2016, it seemed as if everyone knew how the U.S. presidential election would conclude, particularly our major media outlets. On the morning of November 9th, 2016, it was clear that no one had known what they had been talking about.
We’d spent so much time living in a world defined by largely reliable focus groups, polls, and surveys that we’d become convinced that we could idly predict the future. Our news sources became complacent in their analysis of human behavior, and we followed along. It became the blind leading the blind.
But what truly struck me was that we seemed surprised to discover our inability to foresee the future, to discover that we aren’t omniscient.
Here—in the tradition of other paintings depicting the parable of the blind leading the blind—I’ve presented a row of men pointing us in a specific direction. An isolated portrait of blind, British academic, economist, and statesman Sir Henry Fawcett is repeated four times* as a visualization of our election’s timeline. For the majority of the painting (which was completed before the election), Fawcett (who became a noted social and political leader in England during the reign of Queen Victoria despite his disability) is seen pointing us toward his left. However, just before the work’s conclusion (the rightmost quarter, completed after the election), he turns and abruptly shoves the viewer’s gaze to his right.
Just as so many news outlets encouraged our attention (and hope) to the Left, Democratic candidate for a majority of the general election, after November 8th—we were all forced to attend to an unanticipated Right.
*The presence of four repetitions is a nod to the four-year term of the presidency.
