This piece appears to have been made with three separate artworks stacked on top of each other to create a composite figure, combining collage and illustration. The overall impression is of a surreal figure with a head that looks like a closed fist with facial features added onto it. The fist is bent down so that the upper part of the wrist looks like the neck of the figure, which has a watch or bracelet around it. This is the top artwork; the central artwork below it appears to show the body of the figure. It is a collage that combines machinery or architectural schematics overlaid on the torso of a person wearing a patterned uniform with badges who is holding a tool like a hammer. The lower half of their toros is a skeleton, with their spine and hip bones visible. The third artwork shows where the legs of the figure would be, but it is a detailed illustration of a wooden stool with four carved legs. The background of all of these three artworks is the same pale blue color.

This is a painting of two large animals in a dimly lit environment. The scene is depicted in a moody, monochromatic palette with variations of black and white. The animals are illuminated by a circular light source, casting shadows around them. The surroundings show some indistinct elements resembling enclosures or boundaries. The animals appear still and observant in the shadowed backdrop. This painting is executed in a style reminiscent of George Tooker, focusing on shadow and light.

This is a drawing of an ostrich pulling a wheeled cart. The image shows an ostrich with a harness around its neck, linked to a light cart with large spoked wheels. The background features architectural elements that resemble arches or colonnades. The style is reminiscent of early 20th-century art, with strong outlines and a focus on dynamic motion. The drawing combines detailed and sketchy techniques, blending realism in the ostrich's feathers with impressionistic elements in the background.

This is a drawing of a living room with a television displaying a scene. The room is decorated in muted tones with a television set prominently displaying an intense image. The walls of the room feature framed artwork, including what appears to be an abstract piece. To the right, there is an ashtray containing a partially smoked cigarette with smoke curling upwards. The lighting and shading give the room an atmospheric feeling, with light sources playing a key role in illuminating certain elements while casting others in shadow. The composition creates a sense of tension, contrasting domestic tranquility with the dramatic content on the television.
