Signal Red - Shadow Box 12"x12"

Signal 25 is a layered contemporary collage that juxtaposes mortality, repetition, and fragmentation through bold graphic symbolism and constructed abstraction. A vertical sequence of skull-and-crossbones silhouettes emerges against a vivid field of red, black, gold, and pale blue, while repeated “25” forms create a rhythmic coded backdrop that suggests memory, time, identity, or accumulation.

Encased within a dimensional natural wood frame, the work combines hand-cut paper, painted surfaces, geometric fragments, and glossy layered textures to create shifting depth and reflection. The contrast between the playful visual language of collage and the darker symbolism of the skull imagery produces a tension that feels both confrontational and unexpectedly elegant.
