Double Mirror
2015

A black and white artwork featuring the words "AMERICAN WOMEN" in reverse, with the letters appearing as if they are etched or scratched out of a dark background. The text is surrounded by abstract, scratchy textures, and there is a series of white horizontal lines at the bottom, suggesting motion or disturbance. The piece is numbered "8/35" on the bottom left and signed with the date '15 on the bottom right.
