Stemming from Ai Weiwei’s broader research project and floor installation History of Bombs (2019–2020), the composition acts as a stark, graphic catalog of modern weaponry and ballistic missiles.

Rather than arranging the munitions chronologically, Ai structures the layout primarily by size. The rendered missiles crescendo as they rise across the sheet, confronting the viewer with the relentless scale, technological advancement, and normalization of weapons of mass destruction that fuel modern warfare and global displacement crises.

By isolating military hardware against a stark background and stripping away context, the print draws a disturbing parallel between industrial product design and human devastation.
