Español: Me hundí en la soledad, habité el árbol tras de mí

Una litografía en tinta negra muestra un tronco de árbol enorme y retorcido que ocupa casi toda la hoja, con la corteza formada por trazos densos y texturados. Una cavidad oscura en la base sugiere un refugio interior, mientras las ramas y el follaje se desvanecen en un fondo gris suave.
