A square-formatted lithograph arranges overlapping geometric planes in varying shades of gray. Fine, dense lines crisscross to form smooth gradients, giving angular shapes a three-dimensional appearance. Diagonal planes intersect across the composition, featuring bright light-gray sections against deep charcoal tones in the lower left and center. This creates high contrast, mimicking light falling across folded surfaces. The work emphasizes structured depth and rhythmic linework within a monochromatic palette.
