A vertically oriented lithograph in gestural black-inked lines depicts six figures with light skin tones falling through a textured gray space. In the upper half, four figures tumble, limbs flailing. Below them, two figures are tangled in dark, gnarled roots. On our left, a woman with long dark hair lies horizontally across the roots. On our right, another figure is trapped. Heavy hatching creates deep shadows and conveys violent movement throughout the composition.
