About this work

This drawing shows overlapping geometric shapes—triangles and rectangles—that create a layered, almost 3D effect. The lines are in two colors: blue and orange, with some red and green dots scattered in the middle. Thin black lines add depth, making the shapes look like they’re stacked or floating. The artist used plastic clips as part of the work, holding the paper in place while drawing. That’s unusual—it’s not just ink on paper, but a mix of materials. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works that play with simple shapes in unexpected ways.
