This piece is a tall, narrow sheet of paper with black text written in uneven lines. The words are handwritten and look rushed, like notes scribbled in a hurry. The text talks about sickness, fear, and wanting help. The artist used a simple method—ink and pencil—to make the words stand out. The paper is framed in a plain border, keeping the focus on the words. Look up Jenny Holzer next to see more of her work.
