About this work

This print is all black, white, and gray. You see blurred shapes that look like people tangled together—some standing, some falling. The lines are messy, almost like scribbles or smudges. There’s a sense of movement, but nothing is clear. The artist used a technique where ink is transferred onto stone, then pressed onto paper. This makes the lines look rough and uneven. Check out lithography to see how it works.
