A vertically oriented mezzotint and color engraving on deckled white paper features a central black rectangle containing a twisting, light-toned organic form. Sinuous teal lines sweep across the background, intersecting the rectangle and arcing through the left corners. On the upper left, a faint heart and the words "CUCKOOS NEST" are subtly visible. The print balances the velvety black rectangle against delicate, flowing marks and the irregular texture of the paper.
