About this work

This print shows a single dark, blurry circle on a light background. The edges fade into soft gray, like smoke. There’s a tiny mark in the bottom left corner—just a fraction—and a signature in the bottom right. The circle looks like a hole or a shadow, but it’s not quite either. It’s made from ink spread thin, almost like a stain. Look up Otto Piene next—he made this using light and smoke in his work.
