A horizontally oriented woodblock carving, colored entirely black, features deep, parallel grooves intersecting to form triangular facets. Rising from a series of horizontal lines at the base are three tall, tapered vertical shapes. The largest vertical form is situated on the far right. This monochromatic composition relies on texture and shadow to define its fragmented, architectural surface, creating a sense of layered depth within the solid material.
