Sid on Snow Skis

Image

Composite of two photographic images depicting Sid flying through the air on snow skis, which have run into a huge rock. The tips of the skis have broken off and parts of the rock are falling off in pieces. Sid has a cigar in his mouth and is holding one ski pole up in the air. Marks drawn onto the image portray speed.
