Labour (Labour Bricks)

Rendered in stark black and white, the composition reads like a carved proclamation—three blocky banners of text compress the space between two solemn faces, turning language itself into a weight that must be carried. The upper visage, crowned by horn-like silhouettes and fractured radiance, evokes an oppressive force—part overseer, part myth—while the lower face, lit by harsh incised lines, bears the quiet exhaustion of lived consequence. Dense crosshatching and abrasive contrasts create a tactile atmosphere of confinement, suggesting that the true “risks” are not abstract but etched into bodies, identities, and the dignity of labour.
