About this work

This picture shows three tall, dark figures with rough, textured skin. One figure is bent forward, its arms reaching out like branches. The middle figure holds a white cloth with a face printed on it, and the third figure stands stiffly with a cross at its feet. The background is full of swirling lines and patterns. The white cloth face looks like a mask, and the figures seem to be connected by their poses. The artist used a mix of thick lines and layered textures to create the shapes.
