About this work

This print shows a woman with short, spiky hair wearing a loose, draped dress. Her face is half-covered by a cloudy blue shape, like a sky pressing against her. The background is mostly gray with splashes of pink and blue text—just the letters "ELL" and a bar—cutting across the image. The mix of soft colors and sharp edges feels a little off. The way the sky-like shape hugs her face makes it look like she’s caught between two worlds. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
