About this work

This poster is a collage of bold, black text on a beige background. The words are stacked unevenly, overlapping and clashing—phrases like *"War on Drugs," "War on Crime," "Online Wars,"* and *"News Wars!"* fill the space. Some letters are bigger, some smaller, making it feel chaotic. At the bottom, there’s a small print instruction in German and an address for *The Journal of Psychohistory*. The artist cut out headlines to show how often the word "war" appeared in news. It’s like a protest against how often we hear about conflict. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
