Chicago
1979

Illustration of a wooden stepladder with a power drill on top, set against a backdrop of a stylized nighttime cityscape with illuminated buildings. A pair of gloves and an extension cord are also visible on the ladder, suggesting a break in construction or maintenance work. The scene is depicted with a strong contrast between the dark sky and the vibrant lights of the urban environment.
