When a Leak... B&W

A black and white artwork depicting two contrasting objects suspended against a textured background: on the left, a detailed drawing of a garlic bulb with its roots flowing downwards, and on the right, a spherical object resembling a fruit with a ribbon tied around it. Both objects are attached to a horizontal bar at the top of the image. The artist's signature and the year 2011 are visible at the bottom right.
