Gaze up at the Red Dragon Fly (2) B

The title evokes the act of looking upward at a dragonfly — a small, vivid creature turned into a subject of meditation by the angle of observation. Ono's engagement with the natural world was less frequent than his urban work but no less formally rigorous: insects and animals are treated as shapes in space rather than symbols or decorative motifs. The "(2) B" designation places this within a series of related compositions, each approaching the dragonfly from a slightly different formal angle.
