About this work

This print is packed with faces. The top row shows six small heads in dark red, all turned slightly to the side. Below that, four heads in black and white are scattered like scattered thoughts. On the right, a big black silhouette of a man in glasses stands out. The bottom row has three large heads in bright colors—blue, red, and green—like a rainbow of faces. The mix of colors and styles makes it feel busy but intentional. Some faces are bold and flat, while others look more like sketches. The black-and-white heads almost look carved or stamped.
