And They Brought Small Pox
1997

This is a mixed media artwork featuring a collage of various images and textures. The central area is dominated by a dark greenish-black background with splashes of red, over which are layered black and white photographs and text fragments. The images include a silhouette of a crowd, a hand, and a figure on horseback, among others. The text appears to be in different languages and scripts, partially obscured and creating an abstract visual effect. The piece is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner.
