About this work

This image shows black shapes cut into a white background. The shapes look like rough, uneven blocks stacked diagonally, with some gaps between them. The edges are jagged, not smooth, and the whole thing sits on a light, slightly textured paper. The artist used a woodcut technique—carving into wood and printing the inked parts. That’s why the lines are bold and the shapes feel solid. Look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
