Childlike immediacy collides here with an almost Basquiat-ian concentration on text as structural element rather than caption, the scrawled declarations - 'me', 'Bo', 'obs', 'have two' - circling a pink figurine whose spiked brown crown reads simultaneously as crown and wound. The figure's cyan eyes and looping limbs channel the neo-expressionist body in crisis, a subject perpetually assembling itself from its own notation. Benji Milan offers the viewer a grammar before its sentence.
