A framed artwork featuring two identical abstract images side by side. Each image consists of a black circular shape against a vibrant blue sky with scattered white clouds. A red vertical line extends from the bottom of each circle, suggesting a surreal interpretation of a hat with a red ribbon. The piece is signed in the lower right corner.
An early photograph framed on a white background, featuring a faded silhouette of a person with indistinct features against a dark backdrop. The image has a blue tint and shows signs of aging with spots and discoloration.
A vibrant abstract artwork featuring a complex pattern of intertwining blue ribbons on a red background, creating an optical illusion of depth and movement.
