The Rising World of Waters Dark and Deep
1960–1961

A detailed pencil drawing depicting an abstract form with dynamic lines and shading that create a sense of movement and depth. The artwork features a blend of curved and straight lines, with light and dark areas contributing to a three-dimensional effect. The composition is balanced, with the abstract shapes occupying the central area of the paper, surrounded by a lighter border.
