One Person, Split Into Four Black-and-White Film Strips
Four states of the same character stack behind him; the pink shirt up front is the present tense of the whole setup.
✍️ Layering is the whole logic here: the black-and-white strips carry 'the past and its many sides,' while the color cutout carries 'this one, right now.' The cutout has to sit left with room on the right, or it can't hold the weight of the four strips behind it.

A vertical collage poster built like a luxury fashion campaign. Behind everything, stack four rounded strips of black-and-white frames that read as film stills — the same curly-haired male model in dark sunglasses, a different pose in each strip. Over that layer, drop a full-colour cutout of the identical character on the left side of the frame, wearing a soft pink shirt left unbuttoned. Dramatic lighting, with a strong sense of depth between the colour cutout in front and the monochrome layers behind it.
