Petroglyph - Signs

Lala Eve Rivol

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of irregular shapes and jagged lines creating an abstract composition. The forms resemble a series of stick figures and geometric shapes. The largest figure at the top has spiky hair and an outlined body. Nearby, lines and enclosed shapes conjure images of abstract human forms. Smaller figures are interspersed with linear shapes resembling ladders or pathways, suggesting an abstract playground scene.
