A monochromatic abstract drawing featuring a series of sharp, angular shapes in black and white that create a dynamic, starburst-like pattern. The contrast between the dark and light areas creates a sense of depth and movement.
A collection of overlapping newspaper headlines in black and white, with various phrases such as "Revenge Attacks," "Stray Early and Often," and "A Killer in the House" visible.
A grayscale drawing of a person lying on their side in mid-air, supported by a swing that is attached to two ropes extending out of the frame. The person appears relaxed, with one arm stretched out and a peaceful expression on their face. The background is plain white, emphasizing the figure and the swing.
