Crash
1984

A pop art style diptych featuring two contrasting profiles; on the left, a pink-toned image of a woman with her head tilted back and eyes closed, and on the right, a red-toned image of a man facing forward with an open-mouthed expression of shock or surprise. The background is white, and there are abstract black shapes resembling car parts overlaying the images, suggesting a windshield view. The artwork is signed and numbered at the bottom.
