About this work

This image shows loose, colorful shapes scattered across a white background. Each shape looks like a rough outline of a country or continent, painted in bright, uneven colors—reds, blues, greens, and yellows. Some pieces overlap, while others float apart, with a small key in the corner listing matching colors. The artist used a mix of printing methods, like etching and screenprinting, then added collage bits by hand. The result feels messy but intentional, like a puzzle without clear rules.
