Shane Guffogg is an American artist who looks through the lens of humanity at civilizations, both past and present, and views time as threads that connect all people.

These two ideas are usually seen as separate but Guffogg fuses them seamlessly into works that transcend and become testaments to thoughts that inform us of who we are in the 21st century.
