UPDATE JUNE 2020: The items are still lost. It has been impossible to get in touch with the shippers and it appears that all items are gone. Due to the COVID19 situation, I am unsure when I get can replacement items and begin the sculpture posrtion of this project.
I sent the 100+ items purchased in the camp on a truck bound for the UAE (see photos from last blog post). They were sent in mid-July and they never arrived. I am very dis-hearted that this has happened. I hand selected and paid for every item from an entrepreneur who responded to our survey. In essence, that 9 days was a waste for the sculptural project and I am starting back at zero. I will have to spend some time reflecting on the progress or lack there of in the artistic output for the project.
