  • Printed with tones of black, gray, and smoky gray, two oversized hands reach out of an ocean and hold up a masted ship in this horizontal etching, aquatint, and drypoint. Closer to us, the black silhouette of a woman sinks under the surface of the water, face down with her arms thrust back and her mouth gaping open. Her features are exaggeratedly rounded to reference stereotypes historically connected with Black and African people. The wave surges to our left, and the giant hands lift the boat just left of center of the composition. Small in scale, two silhouetted people stand on a flat area to the left. One wears a brimmed, flat-topped hat, a coat with tails, and holds up a tool, perhaps a hoe. The other wears a spiky headdress and skirt and holds up a stalk of sugar cane. The sky is pale gray to either side of a plume of white and a black void with jagged edges, which spreads like a seeping stain down the middle of the sky. Under the image and across the bottom of the page, the artist wrote “A.P. VI/VIII” to the left and “KW 2010” to the right lightly in graphite.

  • The image features intersecting shapes and lines that form a dynamic composition. The abstract design includes swirling lines that curve and converge in the center, while finer lines extend outward. These elements collectively give an impression similar to a chaotic landscape or a tangled mass of fibers. The abstraction invites comparisons to natural phenomena such as waves or grass caught in a breeze, with occasional denser clusters of lines adding depth and texture to the scene.

  • The image shows a composition of rectangles and elongated lines arranged in an abstract grid pattern with colors blending seamlessly. The palette includes deep blacks, warm reds, rich browns, and muted oranges, contributing to the abstraction's depth and texture. This abstract arrangement may evoke the interlocking pieces of a puzzle or the intricate design of a stained-glass window, with each color block forming a section of the whole.

  • The image displays a collection of squares and rectangles in shades of dark red and gray. The geometric shapes resemble a patchwork quilt, with some sections more vivid than others. This abstract pattern is next to a poem titled "First/Last Meditation" written in Spanish and English, contrasting the structured text with the freeform art.
