Nudge Nudge Wink Wink
A fractured digital collage inspired by the raw typographic textures of David Carson, this piece reimagines Donald Trump as both showman and warning signal. The pointing gesture toward the flame suggests threat, spectacle, and implied consequence, while the phrase “nudge nudge wink wink” hints at power operating through suggestion, patronage, and unseen influence rather than direct control.
The line “How fortunate the man with none” references Bertolt Brecht—a cynical counterpoint to modern political loyalty, wealth, and dependence. Torn textures, distressed overlays, and unstable typography mirror a media environment where propaganda, branding, and performance collapse into one another.
