Sterling Ruby

Drftrs (4415)

Sterling Ruby's *Drftrs (4415)* is a dynamic work combining collage and paint on paper, layering fragments of found imagery with gestural marks to create a sense of restless energy and displacement. The composition reflects Ruby's ongoing exploration of American subcultural aesthetics, urban detritus, and the tension between control and chaos. Raw and visceral in its approach, the work embodies a nomadic spirit suggested by its title, evoking figures and identities perpetually in motion.
