The series of works that Prost is showcasing in this publication have stripped the language to its simplest form, as single words or just letters, as in the case of Identity.

Brooklyn Branch (2024) presents two trash bins together in front of a wall with two iron bar windows that frame the two bins together and draw the viewer towards them.

Red Sky At Morning (2025) captures the extreme colour of the early morning sky as the sun rises. The scene is quite personal as it is set from Carney’s viewpoint and car- which puts the viewer in the same spot where she had witnessed this sky. It is quite an impressive moment as the reds…
