About this work

This drawing looks like a rough sketch of a wobbly, floating shape—almost like a lopsided bowl or a squashed balloon. The lines are thick and uneven, with some areas blurred out, while others have sharp, dark edges. It’s all in black and white, with no clear background or details inside the shape. The artist used quick, messy strokes that make it feel dynamic, like the shape might tip over. It’s part of a small set of five prints made the same way. Want to see more?
