About this work

This print is mostly black and yellow with a blurry, ghostly white figure on the left. The background looks like it’s made of messy, overlapping lines and dots, while the right side has bold yellow shapes that seem to glow. The colors clash in a way that feels both rough and sharp. The artist used a printing method called *screenprint*, where ink is pushed through a stencil to create the image. That’s why the colors look so flat and the lines so precise in some spots.
