About the artwork
A newsstand at midnight comes to life with an uncanny cast. Beings melded between humans and animals, each with their own enigmatic story. As they move among shelves and stories, there's a timeless quality to their search—a limbo between old and new, seeking and holding narratives in the quiet before dawn.
