About this work

This painting is all black and white wavy lines stacked tight together. The lines look like they’re moving, but they’re just ink on paper. There’s no clear shape or picture—just a sea of tiny waves filling the whole canvas. The artist used only ink, layered to make the lines overlap. It’s simple but feels busy up close. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
