Elaborating on the dangerous 'realities' created by the mass media - Smoke Signals offers a different optional perception. It is a representation of a street protest with all the specificities removed in favor of a newsprint-like filter that obscures detail.

Confronting the viewer with its indifferent gaze, it becomes a troublesome symbol of reality multiplied and magnified.
