About this work

This piece is a swarm of tiny black triangles scattered across white paper. In the center, a blurry gray shape looks like a face or a mask. One small red dot sits near the top, standing out against the black. The triangles are made from pressure-sensitive tape and ink—each one looks hand-cut. The artist used a simple tool to create this dense, chaotic pattern. Check out the work of Giuseppe Penone to see how he turns everyday materials into art.
