About this work

This image shows nine black-and-white photos of a person’s head cut off at the shoulders, framed like a window or screen. Each photo is slightly different—some show more hair, some less, and the angles change just a little. The background is plain and dark, making the faces stand out. The artist used a printing method that creates sharp, clean lines. This isn’t a painting or a sketch—it’s made using a process that lets you print the same image many times. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
