This image shows a repeating pattern of wavy lines, all in shades of gray. The lines look like they were drawn by hand but are perfectly aligned, filling the whole picture. There’s no color, just different tones of gray that make the lines stand out. The artist made this by taking a photo of a physical drawing, then printing it in a way that keeps the texture sharp. It’s like a map of lines that never stop. Want to know more? Check out lithography to see how artists print images this way.
