About this work

This piece shows six squares of tiny ink lines on paper. The lines form zigzag shapes that repeat across each square. The colors are just black ink and white paper—no other colors appear. The pattern looks like it was drawn by hand but stays very precise. Each square is the same size, and the lines never waver. Want to see more? Check out cross-hatching.
