Creator: Karen Blessen

Description: The page is a collage-style journal entry. It includes a photograph on the left side showing a child in a striped shirt looking up at a large, abstract sculpture. The sculpture appears to be made of dark material with a circular, organic shape. The right side of the page contains handwritten notes and a printed text snippet, which isn't fully legible as it is folded over itself. The layout is informal, with the photograph and text arranged in a loose, personal style. The artwork is a photograph of the sculpture, and the text is handwritten and printed.
