Handshakes and Carbon Monoxide (2025)

Combining elements of surrealism and social commentary, with a central figure of a man in formal attire, possibly symbolizing power, authority, or a public figure. His expression is serious and detached, suggesting a sense of indifference or contemplation.

In the background, a striking juxtaposition emerges. A large, disfigured figure resembling a woman made entirely of garbage, highlighting issues related to waste, pollution, and perhaps the degradation of society or the environment. The trash surrounding the figure may symbolize the growing environmental crisis or the consequences of consumerism, further emphasized by the towering building in the distance, which might represent the industrial or corporate forces contributing to these issues.

The overall composition suggests a critique of the current state of the world—particularly societal and environmental concerns—and perhaps a reflection on how the powerful (symbolized by the man) may be disconnected from the degradation happening around them.
