This is a blank square of pale yellow. It’s smooth and flat, like a sheet of paper stretched tight. Around the edges, four small black metal corners hold it in place—no paint, no lines, just color and shape. The piece is made from pastel and graphite on clear plastic. The artist chose to leave it empty, letting the material and light do the work. Try looking up pastel next to see how artists use soft, chalky sticks to make marks.
