FOUR LETTER WORK.
ARTWORK
What if two alphabets in a normal four letter word like 'SALT' is replaced by **.
Replacing alphabets "A" and "L" in the word "SALT" with "**" in 'Four Letter Work' is a deliberate artistic choice aimed at engaging viewers in a process of interpretation and contemplation.
Such substitutions are not merely about altering words superficially but are intended to provoke thought and challenge conventional perceptions of language.
By manipulating familiar words through symbols, the artist seeks to engage thoughts about perception and evoke a range of emotional responses from viewers.

The use of "**" in place of letters is a form of artistic experimentation with language and visual representation. It introduces an element of ambiguity and symbolism that encourages viewers to question the literal and symbolic meanings of the word "S**T."
This approach invites viewers to participate actively in deciphering the artwork's message, prompting them to consider alternative interpretations and associations that may not be immediately apparent.
The substitution reflects a broader exploration of how language shapes our understanding of the world and influences our perceptions. It raises questions about the fluidity of meaning and the ways in which symbols can alter or enhance communication.
Ultimately, the perception of visitors to the artwork will be influenced by their own experiences, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds. Some may find the use of "**" intriguing and intellectually stimulating, appreciating the artistic intent behind the unconventional manipulation of language. Others may view it as provocative or vulgar, prompting them to question the boundaries of artistic expression and the role of symbols in conveying meaning.
From the artist's standpoint, however, the goal is to create a space for exploration and interpretation, inviting viewers to engage deeply with the artwork and uncover layers of meaning beyond the surface appearance of words and symbols.
