    In an offset-printed black and white photo, workers are busily assembling oversized, freestanding letters spelling "HEROIN KILLS" in a large industrial space. Scattered building materials and tools lie in the foreground, evoking the setup of an exhibition catalogue by The Modern Institute.
    The black-and-white image depicts four individuals wearing blindfolds and shirts emblazoned with "JUST SAY BO NO!" In the foreground, a seated person holds a sewn-bound book, possibly suggesting hidden secrets. Hanging in the background, a toy plane appears as if it belongs in an exclusive exhibition catalogue. This visual is part of "Heroin Kills," presented by The Modern Institute.
