Minas Kahsay is an Ethiopian painter, designer, and illustrator hailing from the city of Addis Ababa. Self-taught as an oil painter, his most famous personal medium—paper mosaic pieces cut out from magazines—arose out of necessity, when a shortage of oil paints hit Addis Ababa in 2015. (Minas now faces the unique problem of having a shortage of magazines.) His art is heavily influenced by traditional Ethiopian art, with the geometric patterns of his motherland prominently adorning his art as much as they adorn their women’s clothing, basketry, and home decorations. Many of his mosaics also celebrate the women of his country.
Some of Minas’s most recent works are digital paintings and illustrations, depicting the 2-year long genocide and civil war in the northern semi-autonomous province of Tigray and its lasting effects. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched the war with a murderous “law-and-order” operation against the province in 2020 November, in response to what he claimed was an attack on an army compound. The death toll from the war totals as many as 378,000 dead, according to Ghent University. Minas hopes that Web3 will help his digital works gain widespread visibility outside of Ethiopia.

Huge props to Mark, Lixian, Rachel, Marcus, and Nervly! The segment was awesome. The horror is such a staple of Mark as a creator. It was how he became known, after all. And the fact that YouTube cut it shows just how little respect they actually have for their “poster child.”

The right mid to lower lung is hyperinflated. There is leftward medisastinal shift, including prominent medisatinal fat (that's not a mass in the left lung). CT shows cystic expansion of the right lung (2nd image). This is a congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) formerly known as congenital cystic airway malformation (CCAM). CPAM is a multicystic mass with abnormal bronchial proliferation. Differential diagnosis includes pulmonary sequestration, congenital lobar overinflation, and bronchogenic cyst (usually not aerated).
