DescriptionBlack and white gelatin silver photograph with an abstract subject. Solid black bars are found on the left and right edges of the frame, the left bar being larger than the right. Between the two areas, an area showing an unfocused human figure, and smaller silhouette beyond his right shoulder. An irregularly-shaped black void covers the larger figure's upper chest and shoulders.
