A black and white etching depicting a surreal scene with a large fish-like creature with a human face, surrounded by smaller fish with human legs, all seemingly caught in a net. The artwork is detailed and has a dreamlike, fantastical quality. There is a signature and date at the bottom right corner, indicating the piece was created in 2004.
