Ways of Something

4 works

A surreal scene with mannequins in various poses and costumes in a room with blue lighting. A neon sign reads "JOIN US NOW!" and a caption at the bottom states, "Here's a painting by Caravaggio."
A grainy, night-vision surveillance-style image with various overlaid text and graphics, including the words "WAYS OF SOMETHING" in a stylized font, channel indicators, and a partial logo resembling that of TMZ, a celebrity news outlet. The image is difficult to interpret but appears to show a person or object in a dimly lit environment.
A large red high-heeled shoe sculpture is displayed in an urban square with classic European architecture and a partly cloudy sky in the background. The words "we look" are superimposed at the bottom of the image.
A surreal image featuring a floating, stylized eyeball with a prominent iris and pupil against a swirling pink and purple nebulous background. Below the eye, there are two ampersands (&) and a line of text that reads, "You are more than taken the place of the needless."
