This drawing captures the overwhelming presence of the white abyss, which dominates the composition. The figure's small size and limited placement on the right side of the page accentuates their struggle to emerge from the boundaries of the artwork. With their right arm extended above their head, the figure partially obscures their face, adding a sense of mystery and introspection.

Covered in drapery that begins below their shoulders, the figure is united with the fabric through a seamless gradient. The convergence of the figure's black skin and the drapery creates a visual cohesion, blurring the distinction between the two elements. As a result, the drawing takes on a sticker or photographic quality, enhanced by the striking contrast between light and dark.

This artwork invites contemplation of the figure's relationship to their surroundings, their concealed expression, and the dynamic interplay between the figure and the drapery. The intense contrast and seamless blending of elements lend a captivating and almost surreal quality to the composition, stimulating viewers' imagination and engagement.
