Artwork

  • A man in casual clothing is upside down, leaning against a bed with rumpled sheets, appearing to be falling, in a dimly lit room. The setting resembles a bedroom.
  • A person in a white t-shirt and green khakis is sleeping in a bed surrounded by white sheets and flags in a courtyard. Near by are trees and a decorative fountain. The ground of sand shows tracing of movement.
  • A woman with buzz cut hair and glasses sits at a white table on a dimly lit stage, with spotlight highlighting her, making a dramatic expression, touching her face. Subtly-lit stairs are visible in the dark background.
  • A stage illuminated with purple and pink lights features a two people on a bed. The audience surrounds the stage in a dark room.
