Alternative Title: This or That
Creator: Karen Blessen
Date: 2022-2023
Description: The page is divided into two sections. The left side contains a detailed drawing of a person with a speech bubble, and handwritten notes around it. The right side features another figure with a speech bubble, accompanied by more handwritten text. Both figures appear to be in a sketchy, abstract style. The page is filled with various notes, lines, and doodles, with some text overlapping the drawings. The overall layout is informal and appears to be a brainstorming or journal entry.
