The silkscreen print depicts abstracted images of explosion. Referencing modernist ideals, Pittas restricted his color palette to red, white, and blue. He made use of prismatic reflective foil, a material commonly used in road signage. The foil's reflective properties, when photographed with flash, invert the image that is visible to the naked eye: what it looks like a serene clouds it's actually a photo taken from the news of a bomb explosion (this one in particular during the Ukrainian war). By activating the work, the visitor takes on an active and performative role and uncovers what was initially invisible. As such, Pittas’ work raises questions about exposure and concealment, violence and protection, interior and exterior.
