Help With My Lithography Project Title!

So I have finished my Lithography project for the new Digital Print Processes: Intaglio & Lithography class that I am taking. Phew! Because it is a new course, everyone in class was rather frustrated with the trial and error aspect of it. We did end up getting an extension, but I was already finished. It is due next week, and I have yet to title it, and am in desperate need of a title! Please give your ideas in the comment after this post! I need major help!

I have already given a description of the process in a previous post, but I will fill you in on the idea behind my work so that you can all help me with a title!
The print consists of self-portraits of an over-sized version of me stuffed into my very small apartment. This was done in photoshop, and I have made myself look larger than life. I took a photo of the brick wall outside the building, and used that as an opaque layer over the image. By scanning in tape, I used this to outline the image to symbolize a sense of insecurity and of temporary living conditions. I printed this image tilted so that it looked as though it is taped onto the paper. I used an off-white paper, and blue ink, complimented by a gold embossing as a second layer. The embossed layer is a script layer that says `I Want None of This`. I have thought about naming it the same as the embossing, but I want to add more depth to the print. I hope that you are able to help!

Here is my project to help you visualize a title for me! :)

Digital Print Processes: Intaglio & Lithography

As I am still a student at York University, I am taking my final credits before graduation this year! The studio class I am taking is called ‘Digital Print Processes: Intaglio & Lithography’, and involves the creation of digital negatives, light sensitive plate exposure, and print media. It is the first time this class has been offered at York, and is so much fun! It is more like we are the guinea pigs for this course, but that leaves much more experimentation on my part! Our first project consists of 2 layers. My first layer will be the image I have created in photoshop displayed below. And the second layer will be a text layer, I will be creating my own stamp and using embossing for this layer. Below is the digital form of my project, and I will making it into a digital negative today in class. I have yet to title this project, and will keep you up to date on my progress.
