High-quality offset printing

Poster size: 36.4 cm x 51.5 cm

Dead of Night places the girl at the center of a concave disk, as if set in a dark locket. Her gaze is frontal, intense, her asymmetrical eyes with discordant colors heighten a sense of unease. The burgundy background evokes the deep night, the hour of anxieties and forbidden thoughts. The circular form isolates the character from the outside world, creating a direct confrontation with the viewer. Childlike innocence here clearly tilts toward the unsettling, even the menacing.

It will be carefully packaged when shipped.
