A vertically oriented print in black ink on cream paper overlooks a fragmented cluster of houses. Sharp black shapes and splintered white spaces form steeply angled rooftops and small square windows toward the left. Thick, jagged vertical strokes texture the background, and a large dark mass stands on the right. Overlapping geometric planes and sharp corners fill the frame, with high contrast and a gouged texture defining the scene.
