Untitled
2006
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 2006 by Mona Hatoum, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a rough outline of the world’s continents on a blank page. The lines are faint, almost erased, with no clear borders between land and water. It looks like someone traced a map but left it unfinished. The simplicity makes it feel more like a thought experiment than a detailed drawing. The artist used only light pencil strokes, almost as if sketching in the dark. Next, check out Mona Hatoum to see how she plays with ideas like this in other works.
