About this work

This print shows a dark background with a ghostly, white shape in the center. The shape looks like a building or tower, made of faint, wavy lines that almost glow. The edges are rough and uneven, like they were scratched or drawn quickly. The artist used a method where lines overlap to create light and shadow. This makes the form feel both solid and shaky at the same time. Look up Cy Twombly next to see how he played with marks and movement in his work.
