Video still of two long images. They are displayed on top of one another. Each depicts scenes rendered in a 1980’s style video game aesthetic showing people in space suits firing futuristic weapons at one another. A CCCP satellite with a hammer and sickle is visible in the background, as are US spaceships which also feature modules made out of Cola-Cola cans.

Video still showing a smiling woman gesturing to two artworks in a gallery space. On the floor is a short pedestal displaying an installation artwork of shiny red tin cans standing upright and intermittently stacked atop one another in various arrangements on the ground. Hanging on the wall directly behind is a vinyl painting on canvas with a border of red and white stripes. Colourful shapes, expressive lines, squiggles, and dots fill the canvas, anchored by a stack of three blue ellipses in the centre.

Two images side by side. The image on the left is of an oil painting on canvas in which the entire canvas is covered in crimson paint that varies in shade. The entire surface is covered in sinuous lines created by fingers moving through the paint. The image on the right shows an artwork installed in a gallery space. The work consists of multiple digital screens combined to create one large screen. On the screen is an animated creature with a bright red, spiky, serpentine body. Small objects fall through the air and land around the creature. Two people, one of whom is holding up a smartphone, stand watching the screens.
