Poem

A large abstract orange-red form with a heavily textured, cracked woodgrain surface dominates the composition against a solid black background, its shape suggesting a calligraphic or ideographic stroke. To its upper left sits a small circular motif with fine radiating black-and-white striations, and two smaller solid color accents—a purple-violet teardrop and a yellow-gold teardrop—appear near the lower left and lower right of the central form. A small red seal and black characters are stamped in the lower left corner; the print is signed in pencil below the image.
