Print
A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph crops around massive, dark steel plates with sweeping curves. A large circular arc sweeps from the bottom center toward the top left against a textured, light gray rock wall. Surfaces are inscribed with white chalk codes and "FLOW" indicators. Overlapping sections create deep shadows, while an angular metal structure anchors the bottom right. Industrial markings and geometric shapes define the stark, high-contrast composition.
