About this work

This piece is mostly blank white paper with a few lines of messy, uneven handwriting in gray graphite. The words are big and raw, like someone scribbled them in a hurry. Some letters are bold, others faint, and a few lines cross over each other. The text says things like *"I long for you"* and *"every day and every night,"* mixed with smudges that look like tears or ink blots. It feels personal, like a private note left out by accident. If this style of rough, emotional writing interests you, look up Jack Pierson.
