About this work

The image presents a piece of paper with a grid of 35 boxes, each containing black text in an unknown language. The boxes are arranged in seven rows and five columns, with some boxes featuring diagonal lines that intersect with the text. A notable detail is the presence of small tears and stains on the paper, which suggest that it has been handled extensively over time. The overall appearance of the paper is aged and worn, with a yellowish tint that gives it a sense of antiquity. This artwork is held at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
