A vertically oriented, black-and-white lithograph features stylized figures and sharp geometric forms. In the lower left, a dark face with wide eyes is partially covered by a hand. Above it, a shadowy, swirling mass hangs suspended. On the right, a floating head with flowing hair gazes toward a cluster of angular, triangular shards. White diagonal lines radiate from these shards across a grainy, stippled background toward the upper left corner.
