Deep, jagged gouges carve a dark brown woodblock into a fractured landscape. On the left, an angular figure with a long neck stands defined by sharp, flat planes. To the upper right, a large carved circle floats above a squat, geometric figure with a pointed head. Sharp vertical and diagonal lines crisscross the dark surface, while the natural wood grain and a knot at the lower left add organic texture to the abstract composition.
