This image shows two tall, twisted figures made of rough, dark lines and shapes. Their bodies look like tangled roots or branches, with lots of circles and squiggles. Bright colors—red, yellow, blue, and green—pop against the light background as small squares and dots scattered around. The artist added details by hand after printing, making it feel messy but intentional. The figures stand on a patchy ground, with a dotted line connecting them to a crescent moon and a star above.
