A vertically oriented black ink print features a nude woman with medium skin tone standing on our left, facing right. She reaches toward flowering stalks as a lizard hovers nearby. Thick, gouged strokes create dense tropical foliage on our right. A decorative border of abstract symbols lines our left edge. Angular block letters at the top read "NAVE NAVE FENUA." Rhythmic hatching and deep shadows create a high-contrast, textured composition.
