Protagonist
2007

A piece of artwork featuring a text excerpt highlighted in yellow with the quote, "There was a dead silence on the other end of the line. Then, in a voice drained of all expression, he asked, 'Who are you?'" followed by, "Let's say I'm a protagonist from someone else's novel." The text is overlaid on a white textured background with a blue squiggly line beneath the second sentence and the artist's signature at the bottom left corner.
