About this work

This image shows a black-and-white scene with a hand reaching up to touch a large, cloudy globe. The background is filled with tiny dots like stars, and the globe looks soft and fuzzy. Big white letters spell out "БЕЛОЕ ЧЕРНОЕ" (white-black in Russian) across the globe. The globe’s fuzzy texture and the stark contrast of black, white, and dots create a striking effect. The hand appears from below, making the globe look like it’s floating. Look up Varvara Rodchenko to see more of her bold, graphic work.
