Tupolev Sky

A portray of a woman crouched on a stone hinge, her hand resting against her face as she gazes upward at a looming Russian Tupolev TU-95 bomber. This two-colour screen-print shows black linework over a warm beige tone—the piece uses halftones, cross-hatching, and bold contours to evoke a retro, print-like aesthetic. Printed on recycled paper. The scene hints at the long-dormant yet lingering fear of nuclear confrontation—an anxiety almost forgotten since the Cold War, now resurfacing in the air above.
