About this work

This print shows two scenes stacked vertically. The top image has a person in a bright red polka-dot dress hanging upside down from a bar, with another person holding them up. The text "Don't fall!" is written in bold letters on the dress. Below, the same person is on the ground, now in a black dress with the word "interrog" scrawled across it. The artist used simple shapes and strong colors to make the scenes look urgent. The red dress stands out against the pale background, drawing your eye to the warning text.
