About this work

This image looks like a collage. A black-and-white photo of a person’s face and shoulders is cut into jagged pieces. Bright pink and dark shapes overlap the photo, making it look broken apart. The edges are rough, and the whole thing sits on a white background with a black border. The artist signed it “Victoria Browne” in the corner. The mix of old-style photos with bold colors feels unexpected. It’s not clear what the pieces mean, but the way they’re arranged makes you look closer. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
