Daydream
1979

A dynamic and expressive black and white charcoal drawing featuring abstracted human forms and faces with intense, gestural lines and shading. Dark, bold strokes dominate the center, suggesting a figure's head, while hints of green add subtle color to the composition. The artwork conveys a sense of movement and emotional depth.
