About this work

This artwork features a black rectangle with rows of white dots, positioned diagonally on a white background. The dots are arranged in a gradient pattern, with more dots at the top and fewer towards the bottom. A notable detail is the use of vinyl on plexiglass, tempera on board, and wood, creating a textured and layered effect.
