About this work

This small print shows two birds perched on a tangled mess of lines that look like roots or wires. The background is dark with a few glowing circles—maybe moons or eyes—and a greenish shape that could be grass or a plant. The birds are simple but stand out against the messy lines. The artist signed it in 1991, calling it *Untitled*, which fits the loose, sketchy feel. The lines and shapes don’t quite match reality, making it feel more like a dream or a quick sketch than a detailed scene.
