This painting looks like words and letters cut out and glued down. The background is a light tan with tiny repeating words in gray. Three bold red letters—M, U, J—cut out and tilted sit over the text. Black rectangles are scattered around like missing pieces. The artist used real printed words and painted over parts to make it look like a puzzle. The red letters stand out because they’re the only color besides gray and tan.
