1980

An abstract sketch with a mix of geometric and organic shapes, featuring a central composition of black lines that create a grid-like structure. Swirls and scribbles in shades of blue and black fill some of the grid sections, while others contain soft red and orange hues. The background has patches of blue and purple crayon, and the paper appears to be aged with some creases and adhesive tape on the edges. The artist's initials are at the bottom right.
