About this work

This is a flat, deep black square. The surface looks smooth but has faint, even lines running across it—like a grid just below the surface. There’s no color, no shape, nothing to grab onto. The simplicity makes it feel quiet, almost like a blank page. The lines aren’t sharp; they’re soft and barely there, blending into the dark.
