About this work

This image looks like a torn piece of paper with shadows. The dark shapes on the right side seem to be hands or arms, but they’re blurry. The rest is just light gray paper with faint lines. The artist used a printing method that leaves ink marks where the plate was scratched. This makes the image look rough and uneven. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
