About this work

This photo looks like a face stuck in a collage. The person’s mouth is covered with a black blob. Above their head, bold letters say *"I PREFER SILENCE."* The edges are messy—red paint drips down the sides, and the paper looks torn. The black blob isn’t just a drawing—it’s a real object pasted on. The artist signed it in the corner with a ballpoint pen. The whole thing feels like a mix of a photo, text, and paint.
