Shot Dead - John Lennon

Shot Dead reflects on John Lennon through the stark image of a newspaper front page, set inside a deep green field. The headline is direct, but the colour holds it at a distance, turning the page into something quieter and more symbolic.

The central collage elements refer to the glasses knocked from Lennon’s face during his assassination. They become a small, fragile trace within the image, held in yellow light and scattered detail.

This piece belongs to The Last Headline collection, reflecting on fame, violence, public grief and the objects that remain after a life becomes myth.
