"After the flu pandemic and an era of factional politics and market manipulation, M. Wylie Blanchet’s decade-long family travelogue commenced its nautical passages in 1928, on the eve of the Great Depression. Simultaneously, fascism gained a stranglehold throughout Europe and Northern Asia, in the lead up to another world-shattering conflict.

In 2024, we find ourselves emerging from a pandemic, but now the curve of time and space is compressed. In the ever-tightening vortex of mega-corporate media, we teeter on the lip of recession and fascism flourishes with the proliferation of populist demigods.

Hopefully, a voice will transmit a true journal of their family’s voyage; that anyone receives.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

I have appropriated Dylan Thomas's lines, hoping to transfer rage from the death of the self to the demise of a global ecosphere that supports human existence." - Tom Burrows
