A brief, unsettling collage that feels like a warning from the past, using grainy images to provoke unease and reflection.

How it feels: Dark, eerie, tense and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Politics, corruption, power, identity
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
