Notable Features
Highly tactile 3D white impasto drips; signature dated '23'; vibrant layered palette that suggests a 'prism' effect
Condition Issues
None visible; no signs of cracking (craquelure), fading, or structural canvas sag
Conservation Recommendations
Apply a UV-protective polymer varnish if not already present; display away from direct sunlight; dust lightly with a soft brush to avoid snagging impasto peaks
