This image shows a black-and-white print with sharp, repeating lines that look like overlapping waves or feathers. The texture is rough, almost like scratches or grooves pressed into the paper. The edges of the print are framed by a thin white border, and the whole thing sits on a plain light background. The artist used a tool to carve into a material (likely linoleum) to create this pattern. The tiny details and shadows make the lines pop against the dark background. Check out lithography to see how other artists use similar printmaking tricks.
