This image depicts parts of a performance score (bound into a thin book) and of a cover (with the beginning of the title in gold and thin parallel gold lines forming triangles or rectangles, on black paper). On the top page (toward its bottom-right corner), it reads “Dear फलक : hum (हम)” in black ink on grey paper. Across the binding, on the bottom page, are text in English and Hindi and hollow shapes (partially visible; possibly rhombuses), both in black ink against a whitish vellum background. Text appears in different sizes and spatial orientations (e.g., right-side up, upside-down, diagonal, vertical, and organic shapes), with some words/phrases expanded in space, condensed, or intersecting with other text. Along one side of the vellum page, text is flush with the edge; along the binding side, there is a white margin between the line of text and the binding.
