Untitled figure ground study (facing German suffering)
2011

A stack of gray plastic containers with lids is placed on top of a newspaper. The newspaper is spread out on a white surface, and the image is slightly rotated, with the text appearing upside down and partially covered by the containers. The newspaper and containers are framed by a cream-colored border.
