NERVOUS is a 6-colour screen print drawn from the Heroes & Villains collection presented during their 2025 exhibition at the Museum of Graffiti during Miami Art Week, capturing a shared self-portrait of the artists as villains striving to be heroes.
Through bold linework, exaggerated expression, and a deliberately disarming palette, the central figure sits in a state of tension. Its stretched red mouth hovering between a forced grin and a suppressed scream, reflecting the instability beneath the surface. The work explores the idea that villainy can stem from internal conflict rather than intent, where aggression and even violence become misguided attempts at healing, revealing the complexity of identity and the friction between aspiration and instinct.
