Light on Water (A)
2003

This is an image of an abstract artwork by Richard Tuttle titled "Light on Water." The piece features a central composition divided by a vertical fold line, with a series of irregular black shapes resembling letters or symbols floating on a dark horizontal band, which could represent water. Above this band, numerous fine, wavy lines suggest light reflecting on a water surface. The artwork is mounted on an off-white paper with the artist's name and the year '93 written on the bottom right, and the title of the piece written at the bottom center.
