A monochromatic abstract print featuring a dark, textured rectangle with a lighter, ghostly figure that appears to be in motion, set against a white background. The figure seems to have a circular head with a void-like feature, possibly an eye, and elongated limbs or appendages. The artwork has a raw, expressive quality, and there's a fraction "1/20" handwritten at the bottom, suggesting it's part of a limited series.
