David Krippendorff
The thirteen drawings revolve around the sentence "if you see something, say something" which has currently taken over the New York urban landscape.

The drawings are drapes and folds of a theatre or movie curtain, and in each drawing one of the six words from this sentence is printed underneath the pencil shadings, building the sentence twice and allowing the entire sentence to be visible in the 13th one. The curtain refers to theatre and movies (the "anticipation" before a beginning) and artificiality, underlining the same artificially induced fear and paranoia that this sentence is supposed to induce in the citizen that is continuously confronted with it.
