'Hong Kong Marina (Daughter of the GRU)' is a collection of photographs taken by JCMjr. during and after his attendance at the 'Asian Contemporary Art Show 2014' in Hong Kong as one of the two founders, curators, spokes persons and exhibiting artist with the New York City, USA and Moscow, Russia international artists coop-collective 'Studio 26 / Studio 26 Gallery' founded by JCMjr. and Marina Reiter at 49 Bogart Street #26 in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York City in 2012."During the last edit of this book President Barack Obama had just announced the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats from the US... in response to the Russian government's... espionage... directed at the 2016 US elections.These events and my own current ongoing divorce from my Russian-American...wife reminded me of my first trip to Russia in August of 2013 where I meet Marina's Russian parents in Moscow for the very first time...I stepped back from their bedroom balcony overlooking the 'Old Arbat Street' and into their 'Eagles Nest' as I gradually found myself within the center ring of Moscow's governing elite. An incestuous triad of deception between my wife, her Mama and Papa ensued... I stood on the outside of this sadistic triad as an American Christian male born... in South Carolina with a Christian family lineage that leads through the Sons of the Confederacy to the 'Founding Fathers of the United States.Loving and being married to Marina was...filled with tons of her temperament of chaos as my love and devotion to protect her from herself at the cost to my own health and well-being became my Achilles' heel that would later empower Marina to use all of her female powers, the western world's liberal feminist agenda and the full weight of her being a daughter of the GRU to silence my voice as an American Christian multidisciplinary artist seeking...justice." - JCMjr. Yet the great divide between the light and the darkness of the Russian people and that of the US people has always been their deep Southern-South roots long embedded in a perfect unity of faith in the glory of God through Jesus Christ as this collection of prints and poetry by JCMjr. testifies to that the Untied States of America is the greatest nation on the face of this Earth. Home of the free and of the brave. - Colvin James
