About this work

This image shows a grid of identical small buildings arranged in rows. Each building has a flat roof, big windows, and simple shapes—like boxes stacked together. The background is a bright red with black lines that look like roads or borders. Tiny green vines creep along the edges, and the whole thing has a repeating, almost robotic feel. The buildings all look the same, which makes the pattern feel orderly and a little strange. The colors are bold—red, gold, and black—with no shadows or depth, like a child’s drawing gone precise. If you like this kind of clean, repeated design, check out lithography.
