About this work

This print is a mix of bold colors and black-and-white photos. At the top, red and yellow flames shoot upward. Below them, a big blue "5" sits on a gray striped background. To the right, a red circle with a black handprint and a star. Underneath, small photos show airplanes, soldiers, and racing cars. The photos look like old news clippings. The flames and handprint might hint at protest or danger. The "5" could stand for something specific, but it’s not clear. Look up Joe Tilson next—he made this piece.
