Untitled (P)
1995

A sketch featuring abstract figures with prominent lines suggesting movement or dance. The figures appear to be wearing hats and are surrounded by oval shapes, possibly representing musical notes or a dynamic environment. The drawing is minimalist, using mostly unconnected lines and leaving much to the viewer's interpretation.
