COMMENTS
The sketchy diagonal lines in this image refer to the barbed wire of the concentration camps and play against the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday. Wayne renders her highly simplified fingerprint in black to increase the feeling of anonymity and peril. (Source: The Art of Everything, Robert Conway, 2007)
