About this work

This drawing shows a flat, gray landscape with a few small shapes scattered across it. The horizon line is low, and there are a few tiny structures—some look like domes, others like satellite dishes or antennas. The whole scene is drawn in a single, even line, almost like tracing. The artist used a ballpoint pen inside a bound book, which makes the lines look tight and controlled. The paper’s edges are visible, as if you’re peeking at a page torn from a sketchbook.
