About this work

This sketchy drawing shows a blurry figure standing in a rough, angular shape. The lines are uneven, like quick scribbles, with sharp bursts radiating from the top. The whole image is in black and white, with some faint marks around the edges. The artist used a method where ink is drawn on a flat stone, then pressed onto paper—this is called lithography. The messy lines make the figure feel both solid and ghostly at once. Check out how the artist used lithography to create this effect.
