About this work

This image shows big, blocky letters spelling out "MADE IN USA." The letters are made from tiny dots of brown, blue, and yellow. The background is a sea of tiny, scattered dots in those same colors. The letters look rough but clear, like they’re stamped or printed. The dots create a grainy texture that makes the words stand out. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
