Description
In a vacant warehouse, an assortment of things are scattered in the space. In the picture's foreground, a number of filled sacks are settled and heaped. The contents of the sacks could be rice or stones, as the material description of the work tells us. Against a light-colored fabric, the sacks are painted (or sprayed) with a few numbers ("9", "5", "0.8", for examples) and symbols ("+" for example). In the background, several similarly painted newspapers heap on the floor. Next to the paper stack is a wooden chair covered by a strip-patterned cloth. (Jerry Wu'23).
