This image shows a simple black-and-white scene of a forest. Tall, skinny trees fill the whole picture, packed closely together. A winding path cuts through them, curving left and right. At the bottom right, a tiny stick-figure person stands near the path, facing the trees. The artist used a technique that lets them scratch lines into a metal plate, then press ink into those grooves. This makes the lines look sharp and slightly uneven. The whole scene feels quiet and a little lonely. Look up etching to see how this process works.
