Recently finished this page in my mini-sketchbook. I like him!
A commissioned piece from 2022. A local rapper requested a cover for his single Water.
Yefta is cool, you can find him on Spotify.
"Warhead"
Collage, 2021.
"We Are Not Alone"
Mixed media collage, 2022. At the time of making this piece, I was reading a book called Dark Eros, an analysis of Marquis de Sade. I think this mindset bled through in the collage, the prospect of masochism in choosing the theatrics of innocence, versus the self exploration of the libertine.
"Solar Plexus"
Mixed media collage, 2021.
This piece was sold to a friend.
"Message Intercepted (or Us)"
Mixed media collage, 2022. The mummy cat gives a piece of their ka to this skull that's wracked by chaos, being nothing more than a bubble that can't reach, the pages between the two torn.
Mixed media collage, 2024
Palestinians kept the keys to their homes when they were forced into exile in 1948, the beginning of the Nakba that continues to this very day. The child clutches to the key, it illuminates a call for peace in a chaos of war, for all war's farce and spectation. That missile is the one signed by former US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, she signed off with a "Finish Them!" and "America ♥️ Israel". The graves are of Arlington, still fresh from one field to another. The twins are Benjamins. The countless-dead memorial markers are Covid deaths.
"Explosions Scare You, Do They?"
"Chaotic Femme"
Mixed media collage, 2022.
"¡Torn-ado!"
Mixed media, 2021.
This piece was sold to a friend.
"Study With Nietzsche"
Mixed media, self portrait with my first philosophic love, 2025.
"my troubles in communication"
Mixed media collage, 2024. My experience with how it is talking with others. The ear, eye, and mouth are photos of my own parts. They are rendered in the struggle to work together in the communication process.
The brain is a hand grenade,
Words shoot-to-kill first,
I stutter or be silent-
Fire.
