About this work

This print looks like a collage of different textures and shapes. On the left, there’s a striped pattern, almost like fabric or wood. In the middle, a swirling shape sits inside a square frame, and a small photo of two people in old clothes is tucked next to it. To the right, sharp lines form a geometric grid, while a smooth, curved surface dominates the bottom half. The mix of rough textures—like the striped section and the swirling shape—stands out. The photo feels out of place, like a forgotten memory. Check out aquatint, the printmaking technique used here.
