Untitled is a 2015 graphite by Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two scenes on folded paper. One side has a lone figure standing on a rocky shore, with a boat and waves below. The other side shows a person walking near a tree, holding what looks like a bird or a small animal. The whole thing is drawn in pencil and wax, with thick, dark lines and some textured shading. The paper is cut and folded into a shape that lets you flip between the two scenes. This makes it feel like a small, private world inside the drawing. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
