About this work

This print shows two fish swimming in wavy water. The lines are thick and dark, almost like ink on paper. The background has a textured look, with swirls that suggest movement. The artist used a printing method called linoleum cut—carving into rubbery material and pressing it for the print. The fish have simple shapes but still feel alive.
