Print
A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph is dominated by a black void slashed by luminous, high-contrast forms. In the upper right, a face with soft features tilts downward with eyes downcast. A blurred arm extends vertically along our left edge, while another limb cuts diagonally across the center. A rounded form emerges in the bottom right corner. The entire scene is rendered in soft focus, with bright skin glowing against the darkness.
