Smoke screen i is one of a series of five works on paper. These works form part of a body of which are a reflection on impressions left on the artist from time spent in Brazil. The artist references Pichação (tagging), grafitti amongst other visual elements foound in the chaos of Brazils urban cities.
Smoke screen referes to both the cryptic style of Pichação and the 'shady' acts of corrupt politicians.
