"Did the Captain of the Titanic Cry?" is an op-art style composition based on an optical illusion.
From a top-down view, a foot in blue jeans and white sneakers, along with a barefoot with red-lacquered nails, stand on a black-and-white striped surface on a downward-moving escalator.
The rhythm of the parallel lines is broken at the bottom of the image by a sharp, red shape, creating dynamic tension. But what does any of this have to do with the Titanic?
