The Location of A Circle
1974

A minimalist artwork featuring a large blank space with a single, central circle outlined in thin black lines towards the left, and a dense block of text aligned to the right edge of the paper. The text appears to be a narrative or poem, but is too small to read in detail. The overall composition is sparse, with a focus on the geometry of the circle and the contrast between the visual simplicity and the textual complexity.
