Description
The image displays an open sketchbook against a black background. On the left page, there is a drawing of a pot with a lid, outlined in black ink with chaotic, crisscrossing lines inside it. The pot has two small handles on the sides. Beneath it are abstract shapes in shades of red and pink, resembling a base or flames adding a sense of movement or heat. Above the right page are various colored paper tabs, one of which reads "FORGIVENESS" in uppercase letters. The right page is mostly obscured by a large black rectangle. At the bottom of the left page, a handwritten phrase reads, "I never saw this pot boil."
