The Board of Honour

A monumental multi-panel work rendered in oil on cardboard, *The Board of Honour* by Misha Levin unfolds across thirteen individual sections, evoking the format of Soviet-era public displays of recognition and collective identity. Levin's chosen medium — humble cardboard rather than canvas — introduces a subtle tension between the grandeur of the compositional scale and the modesty of the material. The fragmented structure invites the viewer to move between parts, assembling meaning the way memory and ideology piece together a portrait of a community.
