Artist, American, born Greece, 1926 - 2013

There are four intersecting rectangular shapes in the image. Each shape is formed by two perpendicular lines creating an open square-like appearance. The shapes are arranged in a circular sequence, with each corner overlapping slightly to form an intertwined pattern. The rectangles are in shades of blue, red, and maroon. The structure resembles a stack of rotated frames or a puzzle coming together, suggesting connectivity and cohesion.
