About this work

This image shows a square made of tiny dots in red and green. The dots form a cross shape in the center, with the red and green alternating in a zigzag pattern. The background is mostly red dots, while the cross is outlined in green. The work was made by typing on Japanese paper—each dot is a single keystroke. It looks like a simple pattern, but it’s actually a grid of letters turned into shapes. If you like this, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more experimental art like this.
