In Is There Any Way Back?, Polito assembles fragments of historical imagery, monarchic symbolism, and cut‑out text to explore cycles of power, collapse, and renewal. The collage juxtaposes eras and empires, creating a layered meditation on how the past continues to shape the present. Its interplay of classical figures, political language, and cultural relics invites viewers to consider whether history is something we escape or endlessly repeat.
