This image shows torn, layered paper with dark, smudgy shapes. The top strip looks like a rough landscape, while the middle and bottom sections show blurred figures—maybe people or objects—half-hidden behind jagged edges. The whole thing feels rough, like pages from an old book glued together unevenly. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a flat stone before pressing paper onto it, which gives this messy, textured look. It’s not polished or clean—just raw and uneven. Look up lithography next to see how this technique works.
