Untitled (Collective Gaze) Printmaking Figurative Printmaking

In a stark monochrome register, a cluster of faces presses toward the picture plane, their widened eyes and fractured contours forming a chorus of witness—at once intimate and accusatory. The mosaic-like background splinters the surrounding space into shards of light, as if the environment itself has broken under the weight of collective memory and unrest. Dense blacks pool around mouths and hands, turning gesture into a language of warning and grief, while the tight compression of bodies denies any escape, insisting that the viewer share in the scene’s urgency. The work reads as a social lament: a communal psyche rendered in chiaroscuro, where vulnerability and endurance occupy the same breath.
