The drawing shows broken letters and fragments of text, like pieces of signs torn from city walls. Lines and marks build up shadows and depth, making the letters look cracked or bent. Chryssa spent time in New York, where she noticed how signs and words shaped city life. She often used real neon signs and street text in her work, not just as images but as part of the art’s structure. This drawing is part of her study of how letters look when they’re damaged or lit up at night, showing how meaning changes when words are split apart. You can see more of her work at the Museum of Ethnography. (Word count: 118)
