What Color Lament?
1991–1993

A multi-panel painting with abstract and figurative elements displayed on a white wall. The artwork features a variety of scenes with human figures, landscapes, and trees, rendered in a mix of warm and cool tones with visible brushstrokes and textures. Some panels are layered or offset, creating a dynamic and fragmented composition.
