Piece description from the artist
The assembling mob is foreign and obscured. The central figure taking arms is collaged with readable print media yet reflects the the overloading mis-communication of contemporary media ejections. A composite surface of text and image, assimilation and obscurity. An expression of the complexities of financial imbalance and escalating class war. This is indicative of the contemporary man’s search for a face, an identity, an origin A search for any piece of the world he can identify with.
