About this work

This is a tall, narrow shape made of three bright orange stripes on graph paper. The lines are uneven, like something drawn by hand. The edges curve slightly, and the background is a light grid. The artist used simple tools—pencil, crayon, and correction fluid—to make it look rough but precise. It’s not a portrait or a landscape, just shapes and color.
