About this work

This print shows two shadowy, twisted shapes against a dark background. One looks like a bird with sharp wings and a long neck, while the other is a human figure with arms raised. The lines are rough and uneven, almost like scratches. The artist used a method where ink is pressed into carved wood, then stamped onto paper. This makes the lines look jagged and raw.
