About this work

This is a set of nine small, simple prints arranged in three rows. Each one shows a single word in bold, uneven letters—some faded, some sharp. The colors are mostly black, white, or a pale pink background. The words don’t always make sense together, and some letters look smudged or slightly off. The words feel like fragments pulled from somewhere else. One print even has a tiny note in the corner, as if someone scribbled a thought. The artist used a basic printing method, but the way the words look messy on purpose makes you pause. Look up poetry next to see how artists have played with words in their work.
