About this work

This painting shows faint white lines on a light gray background. The lines look like they were drawn with a pencil or stick, but they’re blurry and ghostly. There’s a rough shape of a person or animal on the left, and some long, thin lines that might be legs or branches. The artist used a simple method: rubbing wax paper to create the image. It’s not polished—just raw, sketchy marks. Next, check out Mona Hatoum.
