This powerful letterpress print overlays bold, multicolored typography onto a Nation & World section, New York Times newspaper, where headlines about famine in Gaza, immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, and geopolitical alliances compete for space and attention. Large, overlapping letters in red, blue, and violet spell out “CO-EXIST”, while “RESIST” cuts across the middle in deep crimson. Below, the word “DISINFORMATION” explodes in a saturated orange, with “DOMINANT PARADIGMS” stamped diagonally in purple and burgundy, disrupting the text and images beneath. The layered composition forces the viewer to negotiate between printed facts and abstract intervention, blurring the line between news, bias, and visual noise. Through this collision of language and layout, the print questions who controls the narrative and challenges the viewer to both coexist and resist in an age of manipulated truths.
