This is a stronghold
2019

A layered photographic composition with silhouettes and shadows, featuring overlapping images that create an abstract scene. The top layer shows dark, branch-like shapes against a lighter background, while the middle layer has a blue tint with indistinct forms. The bottom layer depicts a group of people standing near a waterfront with industrial structures in the distance. The phrase "This is a stronghold" is written at the bottom.
