About this work

This print shows a big, tangled shape in the middle. It looks like metal or wire, twisted and sharp. Around it, waves crash and swirl in gray and white. The sky above is rough, like storm clouds. The artist made this by pressing ink onto stone, then printing it. The lines are thick and dark, almost like a shadow. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
