Melancholic Exception, 2010, acrylic on canvas.

The artist says that the exercise of this painting,  in which the units and dots bear personal and special meaning, is reflective of a Zen exercise:

” a constant act of finding and losing, remembering and forgetting, asserting and denying, inventing and destroying.”
