About this work

This painting shows a square of green letters on a pale background. The letters spell names like "Emmeiel" and "Ennetia" in uneven rows. The green fades out at the edges, blurring into the light yellow. The artist used a method called *pochoir*—pushing paint through stencils. It looks like a puzzle of names stacked together.
