This image is a list with letters A to Z. Each letter stands for a word tied to atomic bombs and war. Next to each word is a matching word in Chinese characters. On the right side, there are simple black-and-white drawings—like a mushroom cloud, soldiers, and a bomb target. The words mix scary ideas with everyday letters. The drawings look like quick sketches, not detailed art. Check out Chris Burden for more art that plays with words and danger.
