About this work

This looks like a mix of handwritten notes and a small photo glued to cardboard. The notes list ideas like "tie two hands together" or "have everything twice." A rusty nail wrapped in twine is stuck in the bottom right corner. The photo shows a dark, tangled object that looks like a knot or a root. The artist seems to be playing with the idea of forcing things to stick together—literally and in thought. The messy, rough edges make it feel like a sketch for an experiment.
