Ward Beneath the Headlines
Digital collage · Contemporary Collage
A sepia-toned editorial collage places two patients in a stark, high-ceilinged hospital ward, their beds divided by hanging curtains and framed by tall windows. Across the center, a cropped newspaper headline announces defeat while oversized red vertical lettering cuts through the room like a theatrical stage mark. Archival photographic texture, rigid geometry, and the collision of intimate medical space with wartime reportage give the piece the charged atmosphere of a historical film poster.
