Untitled (Water Goggles)
1977

Pencil drawing on off-white paper depicting an abstract, ribbon-like form that appears to twist and fold into itself, creating a sense of three-dimensionality. The artwork features shading and contour lines that suggest movement and depth, with faint sketched lines around the form indicating motion or planning. The artist's signature and the year '77 are visible in the lower right corner.
