Two works: (i) Shipwreck Survivors, 2004; (ii) Commemorative & Indigestive Celebration of Human Greatness with Octopus

Oscar de las Flores presents two intricate ink-based works that explore themes of human struggle and absurdist grandeur. *Shipwreck Survivors* (2004) renders its subjects in stark ink on paper, evoking themes of endurance and vulnerability against overwhelming forces. *Commemorative & Indigestive Celebration of Human Greatness with Octopus* expands the palette with watercolor, blending ceremonial pomposity with surreal, tentacled disruption in a darkly humorous meditation on human ambition.

Medium: (i) ink on paper; (ii) ink and watercolor on paper
