The image "Shard" by the artist shows a small, curved piece of ceramic material. The shard is orange with three horizontal dark brown stripes. The shard has a rough edge on the right side and a more jagged edge on the top left. It is placed on a light gray surface, casting a small shadow underneath. The shard appears to be slightly worn and scratched.
