About this work

This print shows black shapes on a light background. Thick lines make boxes, circles, and half-circles. Some shapes overlap, others sit side by side. The texture looks rough, like scratched wood or old paper. The artist arranged these shapes carefully—no two are exactly the same. The way they’re stacked makes it feel like a puzzle without a clear answer. Next, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
