Encore by David Avery is a richly detailed allegorical etching that stages death, spectacle, and inevitability within a theatrical frame. A skeleton pianist performs at a grand piano set upon a proscenium-like platform, while the surrounding world collapses into chaos—storms swirl, creatures emerge, flames consume, and debris accumulates beneath the stage. The performance continues unabated, even as destruction encroaches from every side.
