About this work

This collage is packed with tiny scenes and objects. On the left, people in old-fashioned clothes sit under umbrellas near a boat, while a mountain looms in the background. To the right, a bare tree stands in a snowy landscape, with a city map and a floating figure nearby. The whole thing mixes text, drawings, and photos—some faded, some sharp—all glued together in a busy, layered look. One odd detail: a small, upside-down boat with people inside appears twice, like a hidden joke. The artist used real printed images—newspapers, ads, maybe old postcards—to build this world.
