You see a plain white envelope and a small white sheet. The sheet has a faint, blurry shadow on it. The shadow looks like a hand pressing against a window. This work plays with ideas of absence and presence. The shadow hints at a person who isn’t there. The envelope holds a mimeographed letter with no clear message. Check out another work by Bas Jan Ader, William Leavitt.
