About this work

You see a sheet of paper with tiny holes punched in neat rows, like a starry sky or a city map at night. Zarina made this by hand, one hole at a time. The paper isn’t just white—it’s slightly uneven, with faint shadows where the holes catch the light. It’s quiet, but it feels like a record of time and touch. If you like this, look up *impasto*—a technique where paint is laid on thick, so the brushstrokes stand out like these punched marks.
