Dossier #2
Original Hand-Painted Assemblage on Authentic Antique Postcard
4x6 nches
One of a Kind

Dossier #2 continues the unfolding archival narrative.

Constructed on an original antique postcard, the surface carries authentic age, printed postal markings, and handwritten correspondence from another era. That history remains visible — not erased, but layered beneath the present composition.

Film-strip frames hold fragmented black-and-white imagery.
Faces partially redacted.
A tag stamped “cleared.”
“Confidential” printed boldly across the surface.
A single eye symbol — watching.

Each element is physically assembled and hand-integrated into the postcard. Paint, ink, paper, and dimensional components are layered to create depth and tension. Nothing is printed or reproduced.

This piece feels like evidence.
A document processed, stamped, reviewed — but not fully understood.
