About this work

This piece is a messy, tangled web of red and gray lines on white paper. The marks look like they were drawn fast, overlapping in some spots and fading out in others. There’s no clear shape—just a chaotic mix of strokes that fill the space unevenly. The artist used a ballpoint pen and pencil, layering lines until the paper looks worn. The scribbles feel restless, like they’re moving but never settling. If you like this kind of loose, sketchy energy, look up cross-hatching.
