About this work

This print is made of big black shapes on a white background. The shapes look like letters but aren’t real words. Some edges are sharp, others fade. One small section has thin stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The artist used dark paint to fill most of the space. The colors pop against the white. It’s simple but feels busy.
