A horizontal black-and-white photograph is dominated by a luminous gray field slashed by dark vertical and diagonal lines. Shard-like shapes with jagged edges overlap, creating depth. Rhythmic black marks with a ribbed texture flank the upper left and lower center. Thin vertical lines bisect the composition, stretching toward the top edge, as the surface transitions between bright white and deep charcoal. The result is a fractured arrangement of translucent, intersecting planes.
