About this work

This drawing is a grid of tiny, uneven rectangles and shapes sketched in light pencil. Some lines are faint, others a little bolder, but everything looks hand-drawn and rough. At the bottom left, there’s a small scribbled circle with some lines inside it, and the artist’s name is signed in the corner. The grid isn’t perfectly neat—some squares overlap or tilt slightly, like it was drawn quickly. The whole thing feels more like a sketch than a finished work. This is an example of stippling, a technique where dots or marks build up an image.
