Works from William Kentridges Lexicon series explore the artists idea of a personal visual vocabulary. In these works, recurring motifssuch as figures, tools, trees, animals, and everyday objects function like symbols or words that can be combined to form different meanings. Through printmaking, drawing, and sculpture, Kentridge rearranges these elements to create shifting narratives that reflect on memory, language, and perception.
