‘Hasta La Vista russia’ includes a combination of pop culture references and bright colours to create a playful yet clear message. At the centre of the piece, the ‘Terminator’ looks forward with his red glowing eyes, whilst two irritated Daffy ducks stand on either side. Underneath, the famous catch phrase from Terminator 2 is changed to ‘HASTA LA VISTA russia’, with a particular emphasis on the lack of capitalisation of ‘russia’. This piece represents the attitude that many Ukrainians hold, determined to be victorious and confident enough to be playful about it. Behind these comical pop culture figures, the viewer can sense the resilience and resolve they represent.
