About this work

This print looks like a collage of old, worn scraps. There’s a large sheet of paper with tiny drawings and text in the center, surrounded by faded white rectangles. At the bottom, a few small objects are glued on: a dark bird shape, a blue flag, and a star-shaped patch. The background is a mix of yellowish and dark tones, like it’s been stained over time. The text on the big sheet looks like an old map or guide, but it’s hard to read. The scraps around it seem random—some are blank, others have faint marks. The whole thing feels like someone took old paper and stuck it together, almost like a puzzle. Want to know more? Check out how etching works.
