About this work

This image is a grid of black and white squares with dots. The dots start small and get smaller, then jump to big and keep growing. Some squares are empty, some are fully black, and others have just a tiny dot. The words under each square describe the dots—like "tiny," "huge," or "monstrous"—but the sizes don’t always match the words. The artist played with how we see size and words. The dots don’t follow a perfect order, making you question what you’re really looking at. Check out Tom Friedman to see more of his playful work.
