About this work

This drawing shows a tall, skinny figure made of overlapping circles and lines. The body stretches upward like a tower, with smaller shapes attached—some look like faces, others like floating heads. The lines are loose and wobbly, almost like a quick sketch. The artist signed it in the corner, but no other details are clear. The whole thing feels like a mix of a person and a machine, all drawn in one go. If you like this weird, geometric style, look up lithography to see how it was made.
