About The Work
In this witty piece by Jonathan Monk, the artist appears posing for his passport photo, and in place of his eyes, Monk has inserted earrings with a drop design that suggests a comic-like stream of tears. What is so often a somber image—the passport photo—is here transformed into a whimsical, thought-provoking piece of art.
