About this work

This is a round black-and-white photo of a person framed by a dark border. The edge of the circle is decorated with white flowers and leaves. Inside the circle, the person’s face is faint but shows a hooded figure with one hand raised. The flowers around the border are drawn in a loose, sketchy style. The dark background makes the white details stand out sharply. Next, check out chiaroscuro.
