About this work

This print is a mix of black-and-white photos and bold colors. A yellow stripe runs down the center, marked with red stars and text. Around it are faces—some serious, some blurred—along with a map and a photo of a woman. The edges look torn, like pages from a book or newspaper. The collage feels messy on purpose, with clashing images and words. It’s not polished—more like a scrapbook with a message. If you like this style, look up Joe Tilson.
