Untitled
2005

A densely packed, hand-drawn collage of words, phrases, and illustrations that evoke themes of political and social upheaval, with references to historical events, figures, and movements such as Martin Luther King Jr., the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. The monochromatic image features a central skull surrounded by swirling text and images, creating a chaotic and intense visual representation of a turbulent period in history.
