About this work

This print shows three figures tangled together in a chaotic scene. The person on the left is kneeling, their body twisted in sharp lines. The other two are sprawled on the ground, their limbs overlapping in a messy pile. The background is filled with jagged, slashing marks that look like wind or movement. The artist used a technique that lets ink sit in scratched lines, creating rough textures. The figures’ faces are blurred, almost like they’re screaming or struggling. Next, look up etching to see how this print was made.
