A vertically oriented black-and-white print depicts a hooded figure in the top left, rendered in white outlines against a dark, textured background. Luminous threads flow from their hands toward five people below, who appear caught in a chaotic descent. Dressed in light tunics, they are entangled in thick, swirling cords with limbs splayed and mouths agape. In the upper right, delicate white branches emerge from the shadowy void.
