Untitled (I Do Not Always Feel Colored)
1992

A monochromatic artwork featuring repetitive text that reads "I DO NOT ALWAYS FEEL COLORED" in bold, black letters with a distressed and smeared appearance on a white background. The text is overlaid and staggered, creating a sense of movement and fragmentation. The bottom left corner has a handwritten inscription.
