This is a photograph of a shooting practice target mounted on a cardboard surface. The target has the silhouette of a human torso with several bullet holes concentrated around the central area. The target is marked with numbers and mathematical calculations. The silhouette is outlined with additional lines at the bottom. The cardboard surface is secured around the edges of the target with staples, and light penetrates through some bullet holes, creating bright spots.
