About this work

This image shows a sea of tiny, repeating shapes—mostly gray and white—packed tightly together. Near the top left, a small cluster of orange and yellow shapes stands out. The rest fade into a uniform pattern, like a grid of tiny arrows or leaves. The artist used a printing method that lets the same shape repeat over and over. It looks like a map or a code, but it’s just art. Check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
