Thick yellow strokes curl and pulse across white space with a looseness that feels closer to speech than script. Karen Osei's lettering - if it is lettering - hovers between word and drawing, the looping forms of 'love' absorbing a circular motif that reads as both letter and eye. The colour holds nothing back: full-strength cadmium yellow, flat and insistent, demanding the eye follow each sweeping arc.
