This image shows a man carving a large stone figure in a dimly lit space. Behind him, ghostly white shapes—maybe people or gods—float in the shadows. His tools are simple: a hammer and chisel, and the stone is still rough in places. The scene feels like it’s pulled from an old story, where humans try to shape something bigger than themselves. The artist used a mix of scratching and ink to create the dark, textured look. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Jorge Castillo.
