Monochromatic composition with a variety of organic shapes

In this monochromatic composition there exists various ways in which configure the multitude of organic shapes. The composition appears to be condensed towards the lower third of the picture plane as the ink becomes darker and the various shapes seem to coalesce into insinuated figures. Three horizontally oriented humanoid shapes emerge distorted through a kind of X-Ray vision in which the outer skin is striped away revealing the artist’s interpretation of the inner workings of the human body.
