← Redon, Odilon

The image depicts abstract lines and shapes, with a prominent triangular form in the center. The shapes create an otherworldly landscape with emerging faces resembling floating masks or ghostly visages. A large circular shape with spiky lines radiating from it and scattered faces floating within the textured space can be seen.
