You see a black-and-white print of a fish, its body made of sharp, jagged lines that almost look like broken glass. This isn’t a realistic fish—it’s more like a puzzle. The artist used a printmaking method called aquatint, which creates soft, grainy textures. Here, the technique makes the fish feel both solid and fragile at the same time.
