About this work

This piece is a screenprint with collage additions, featuring a thin wire stretched horizontally across the center. The wire is attached to the paper at seven points, with a few loose threads dangling from it. The background is a solid beige color. The wire appears to be a simple, everyday object, but its placement in the artwork gives it a sense of importance. The loose threads add a touch of imperfection, making the piece feel more human.
