Ankoku 2 (Direction translation - Guernica)
2012

A collage on brown paper featuring various black and white illustrations with surreal and abstract figures. Some images depict distorted human and animal-like forms, while others are more abstract in nature. Accompanying the illustrations are two sections of text on yellow paper with a narrative that appears to be dark and possibly satirical in nature. The overall composition is a mix of art and text, creating a thought-provoking piece.
