Which is not a drawing but a shape. The shape is empty. The emptiness draws the boy’s eyebrows downward, draws his lips downward. His frown is part of this drawing, which is outside the box. The box is labeled “#2.” The boy is unnamed. He exists merely to draw our attention to the rectangular shape. The title reads, “He Exists Merely.” The caption below the title reads, “In many cases, significant improvement can be made in 10-15 sessions.”
