🎬 The Piece
The work features a primary pink background with bold, blocky typography in black and red. A large red rectangular block highlights "CATCH" in white negative space, anchoring the design.
To the left, a monochromatic halftone image depicts Jack de Lasartesse in a dark, ornate cape. The layout balances a dense hierarchy of heavy sans-serif fonts against the figure.
