Help - Mixed Media Collage

Help is a bold and emotive mixed media collage that captures the raw intensity of a cry for assistance, embedded within layers of texture, colour, and found materials. This piece speaks directly to the inner turmoil and chaos of the human experience while offering an invitation to reflect on the universal need for support and connection.

This artwork is created using a rich blend of acrylic paints, vintage ephemera, and instructional text in various languages, layered on a textured background. The word HELP, scrawled across the piece, becomes the focal point, demanding attention amid abstract shapes and collage elements. A painted figure, partially obscured by layers of imagery, adds a haunting presence, reminding the viewer of the vulnerability behind the word.

This collage combines fragments of vintage sewing patterns, old printed instructions, and graphic overlays, producing a textured surface that invites closer inspection. The contrast of bold black lettering against a collage of soft tones and intricate details creates a striking visual tension that embodies both desperation and hope.
