This large-scale paper “construction,” the word the artist chooses to describe this work, is made from shredded billboard posters. Hassan’s subjects are often everyday people, and his use of torn paper to make art reflects his sense of social conscience. As South African artist Sue Williamson observes of Hassan’s work, “This recycling, the rawness and the roughness of the technique, the free form of the constructions unbounded by rectilinear framing and adhered directly to the wall seems wholly appropriate for these depictions of a shifting society.” The heroic-sized, colossal busts of the two figures on the left seem caught in a daydream, with profiles tilting upward and their heads in the clouds. On the far right, an introspective figure sits isolated wearing a logo-style jacket brandished with letters fractured from the word “COSMOPOLITAN.” At the center are two figures in intimate conversation and cloaked in warm, dusky shadows.
