Pool of Tears 1
2000

A monochromatic etching depicting a surreal scene with a human figure in a dress floating horizontally above a dark surface, reaching out towards a rat on the right. Below the figure, there are three fish seemingly suspended in the same space. The background is textured with light scratches, and the artwork is signed and numbered in the lower margins.
