Rope
1993

A coiled thick rope with frayed ends is laid out on a flat surface, with the coil pattern creating a spiral effect. The image is monochromatic, resembling a pencil drawing with detailed shading to give the rope a textured appearance. The background includes a corner of two walls and a patterned floor, suggesting an indoor setting.
