A Picasso-style cubist collage: (1) a stylized British Airways tail intersecting with a legal gavel, (2) a winged kangaroo figure representing Rex’s rescue, (3) broken network cables and glowing cloud fragments for the AWS outage, (4) a commanding hand with seven lines radiating outward for IATA’s “rules,” (5) a United aircraft silhouette with a blazing meteor fragment for the space debris incident, (6) abstract sensor beams for the quirky LIDAR story. Painterly, fragmented, surreal, witty.
