The life-sized Dickhead drawings are darkly hilarious. 'Dickhead' being a hard-hitting, intense word often used to insult someone — particularly a man, that more or less says, "you idiot, thinking with your dick". Flores turns that phrase on its head by covering his genitalia with literal heads — of himself. That type of literal reference made ironic is potent in these, and often seen as a thread in Flores's practice.
