This drawing shows a grid of small squares, some filled with black ink, others left blank. Two jagged black shapes break through the grid—one looks like a wave, the other like a starburst. The lines are precise but uneven, like hand-drawn cracks. The artist signed it "Crescendo" and dated it 1997. The black shapes feel sudden, almost like something breaking through the orderly squares.
