This is a drawing of an abstract landscape with the word "MEMORIAL" across the top. The drawing features a circular depression in the foreground with shadowing for depth. Above this feature, the texture and shading create a smoky effect. The word "MEMORIAL" is stenciled in a bold, capitalized font at the top. The monochromatic palette ranges from light grays to deep blacks.
