This print is all black and white, with thick white shapes on a dark background. You see a mix of circles, lines, and what look like splatters—some sharp, some blurry. The shapes don’t form anything clear, like a face or object, but they feel like they’re moving or colliding. The artist used a printing method called lithography, where ink sticks to smooth and rough parts of a stone or plate. Notice how some lines are clean and others are messy—it’s like the print itself is part of the chaos. Check out more about lithography to see how this technique works.
