About this work

This piece looks like a mix of scraps and marks on paper. There are torn bits of beige paper scattered around, some stuck with tape. A few red lines sit in the middle like a scribbled message. On the right, a round black circle holds a blurry, faded photo of a face—part of it’s brown, part looks like it’s peeking through. The artist used simple tools: felt-tip pens, cut paper, and even photo corners. The date "18/22" is written in the corner, but it’s unclear what it means here. Next, check out Manfred Pernice to see how he plays with everyday materials.
