BIJING NOW 02

A close cropped view in monochrome grey, black, and white shows a woman's lowered face, flowing hair, and shoulder rendered entirely from overlaid map fragments, halftone dot patterns, and fine linework rather than continuous tone; her hand grips the curved handle of a black umbrella whose ribs fan out in sharp white lines. The layered cartographic textures give the figure a fragmented, semi-transparent quality against the dark umbrella canopy. Toru Ishii's "Bijing Now 02" (2016), Digital Dyeing on Silk.
