We scream for ice cream, the concluding project for my art degree, contains a myriad of pictorial and narrative springboards to experiences of violence, destruction and death. Its main motif is the Jack of Hearts playing card, shown cast, deformed or in a process of dissolution in different materials. The interplay of these elements enables me to show my own life story in political imagery and transform it into a powerful graphic ensemble.
