Summer
1987

This is an artwork featuring a collage of various elements. On the left, there is a silhouette of a human figure against a pale green background with a tree branch. The right side shows a chaotic assembly of images including a drum with a hand and drumsticks, an American flag, a leopard print, and a photograph of a woman's face, all set against a backdrop with star-like shapes. The piece has a textured, layered appearance, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner. The artwork is numbered 4/73 at the bottom left, indicating it's part of a limited series.
