An Argument
1977

Two miniature figures stand apart on a vast, empty, pale surface. The figure on the left is dressed in a yellow top and black pants, while the figure on the right wears a patterned shirt and brown pants, with one hand raised to their head. The scene conveys a sense of isolation or contemplation.
