Three horizontal paintings with raspberry-pink backgrounds and white text hang spaced out in a row against a white background. The central panel is slightly larger than those hanging to the sides. The white text on the left panel reads, “ONE THING.” In the center is “1965,” and the panel to our right has, “VIET-NAM.”
