SMOKE BREAK

handmade paper collage by collage artist Dave (@davesocozy). Original, 4 by 6 inches.

Collage in a wooden frame. Cut-out ransom-note letters spell SMOKE across the top and BREAK across the bottom. At the center a single oversized cigarette stands upright like a monument against a blue, cloudy sky. The lower half is a black-and-white photo of suited commuters carrying briefcases across a sunlit plaza, casting long shadows.
