Editor: So, this is "Letter S," an undated piece by an anonymous artist, part of the Harvard Art Museums collection. It's a small, blocky image. What strikes you most about it? Curator: The boldness, I think. It's anonymous, true, but confident. Each flourish, those dense leaves, they have a purpose. It feels almost like a secret language, doesn't it? Editor: Yes, almost encoded. What's the language saying? Curator: Perhaps it's about the inherent beauty within structure. Or the wildness that can be tamed, shaped into elegance. It's a tiny rebellion! Editor: Wow, that gives me a lot to think about. Curator: Exactly! And that's the best thing about it. A small image with huge possibilities.
