For Pair Object III
1987

This image features an abstract artwork with a circular array of typewriter-like letter impressions, predominantly in red and black, creating a pattern that suggests the word "UNIQUE" emerging from the chaos. The background is white with smudges and traces of the lettering process. The artist's signature and the year 1977 are handwritten in the bottom left and right corners, respectively.
