DescriptionThe letters "US" can be clearly seen printed in bright magenta over light blue and under bright yellow. Inside the letters, a quote by Ugo Betti is written in the artist's scrawl. "I believe that god has intentionally made us not docile for that he would find useless, but different from himself and a little too proud... so that we may stand against him, thwart him, amaze him... perhaps that is his purpose. ugo betti"
