This image shows four simple shapes on a light background. Two black squares sit above two colored squares—one green, one red. Each colored square has small letters inside: the green one says "BRE," the red one says "BERG." The black shapes look like they’re cut out, with clean edges and no shading. The artist used a printing trick to make the colors pop. The green and red squares are flat, but the letters inside are slightly darker, like they were pressed in deeper.
