Hooded Captives
2004, printed 2006

A surreal collage featuring a fashionably dressed figure with a pale complexion and striking pose in the center, standing on an orange floor with a dark green sofa behind. Two monochrome figures appear to be sinking into the floor in the foreground, and a book with glasses on top lies open on the floor, suggesting a domestic scene with an abstract twist.
