About this work

This is a set of sixteen loose pages—some flat, some folded—showing bold colors and simple shapes. Bright red triangles, blue boxes, and swirling circles stand out against clean backgrounds. A few pages have stripes, dots, or open flaps, like a mix of paper toys and puzzles. The pages feel like they’re made to be handled, not just looked at. Some have paint splatters or rough edges, while others are smooth and precise. Next, check out Lygia Pape to see how she played with shapes and materials.
