The image shows overlapping rectangular shapes and lines in varying shades of red, black, and gray. The pattern resembles a patchwork or abstract cityscape viewed from above. The arrangement of color blocks may also remind one of a crossword puzzle.

Remansillo [Little Backwater]

Sean Scully, Greg Burnet

2003

The image displays a collection of squares and rectangles in shades of dark red and gray. The geometric shapes resemble a patchwork quilt, with some sections more vivid than others. This abstract pattern is next to a poem titled "First/Last Meditation" written in Spanish and English, contrasting the structured text with the freeform art.

Meditacíon [Meditation]

Sean Scully, Greg Burnet

2003

The image displays thick, overlapping rectangular shapes and blocks arranged in a grid-like pattern. Rectangles in muted tones of blue, gray, and brown intersect to create an abstract composition of vertical and horizontal lines. The design resembles a series of roads or walls forming an interconnected network of an architectural or urban landscape.
