"The loudest laugh in the room is always the one closest to collapse."
- Nat Berhe

A square portrait of a suited man whose face is stretched open in a wide, unhinged grin, eyes hollowed to red-marked sockets, the expression hovering between ecstasy and disintegration. Set against a blazing hot-pink field scored with streaks of deep red, his black suit and white collar give him the look of a figure of authority come undone. The impasto surface crackles with urgency, capturing the exact moment when performance cracks into something true.
