Lorna Simpson

Queensize
1991

A monochromatic artwork divided into two panels within a single frame. The top panel displays a textured, abstract mask-like object against a black background. The bottom panel shows a person in dark clothing, with their face obscured by shadow, holding what appears to be a round object against their stomach. A small text label in the lower right corner reads "Quarantine."
