About this work

This piece looks like a small, dark rectangle with a rough, textured surface. Inside it, there’s a bright red shape that stands out sharply. The edges of the whole thing are uneven, almost like it was torn or hand-cut. The paper around it is mostly white, with some faint greenish marks near the edges. The title isn’t visible here, but the red shape is the main focus—simple but striking. The texture suggests it might have been made by hand, with some marks and scratches adding to the look.
