a grim portrait of King Leopold II composed from torn colonial maps of the Congo, rubber trade ledgers, missionary reports, dismembered hand sketches, and 19th century propaganda posters, his beard formed from chains and ivory fragments, military sash layered from bloodied trade vouchers and missionary letters, background shows ghostly silhouettes of enslaved Congolese laborers and pillaged rainforest scenes, overlay of Belgian royal emblems cracked and fading, conceptual collage with raw, brutal honesty
