This 7"x10" drawing features strong contrasts between light and dark areas. The black ink shapes are bold and solid, creating a sense of weight and form. These shapes appear to be abstracted figures or silhouettes, separated by strips of white space that weave through the composition, giving the piece a dynamic sense of movement and flow. The darker areas almost evoke the feeling of shadowy cliffs or towering abstract forms, standing in opposition to the empty space, which allows the eye to explore the negative space as much as the inked forms.

The lines that extend from the black shapes toward the white areas have a jagged, energetic quality, adding texture and a sense of tension. There's an ambiguity in the way the forms are defined, which invites multiple interpretations—whether seen as landscape-like elements, abstracted figures, or something else entirely. The contrast between the weight of the black shapes and the surrounding open space gives the piece a visual rhythm, balancing heaviness and airiness.
