That background sharpens the title’s role as an imperative, pressing the image toward confrontation without identifying its subject.The photograph shows an oval boundary packed with standing figures, a leopard, puzzle shapes, foliage and bodily fragments. Their abrupt changes of scale make the head legible as a composite structure rather than a likeness.Catalogue metadata lists magazine cutouts, HVS paper, acrylic paint and oil pastel. Found images permit instant recognition, while their visible collisions make discontinuity an organizing device rather than a flaw to conceal.Made in 2025 and measuring 15 by 23.5 centimetres, the work compresses mass-media abundance into a handheld scale.
