- Description
- A color screen print of two figures, male and female, and a flying bird in silhouette against a dark blue background. The silhouette of the bird appears overhead in the upper left corner, releasing a bright white blob that covers both figures from their heads to halfway down their bodies. All that is visible are the black skirt and feet of the female figure on the left and the black trousers and boots of the figure on the right. The print is signed, dated [2000] and numbered in graphite on the verso: [III/XXV].
