About this work

This image shows a close-up of rough, textured waves. The lines are dark and uneven, almost like ink pressed into paper. It looks like water crashing, but it’s just marks—no light, no color, just black and white. The artist used a sharp tool to carve the lines into wood, then pressed it onto paper. The tiny details make it feel real, even though it’s just shadows and shapes. Next, check out engraving to see how artists carve images into hard surfaces.
