Two faces, distorted along different axes, visually convey imbalance and anguish. The distortion transforms the portrait into an expressive image with a surrealist vein, demonstrating Jahan's ability to invent techniques adapted to a commission, while remaining demonstrative of his capacity for formal inventiveness. This photograph belongs to his advertising work, which frequently employs montage and experimentation.
