Observations

A dense, surreal portrait style built from overlapping facial fragments, profiles, silhouettes, and geometric colour blocks. Saturated red, teal, black, and ochre are pushed into high contrast, while bold graphic contours, visible linework, distressed grain, and layered print-like textures give the images an expressive collage character.
