Untitled
1999

Illustration of a person struggling to carry a large, transparent gift-wrapped box that obscures their upper body, with the ribbon and bow visible on top. The figure is drawn in a sketchy, sepia-toned style, with emphasis on the lines of movement and strain, as indicated by the bent posture and outstretched arms.
