A fountain burbles in the centre of this trapezoidal work; its water surface is unbroken. Water lilies leaves float in the basin, surrounded by threateningly spreading vines. Bright light illuminates the scene: Is it day or night? The woodcut is based on floral ornaments and Albert Van Huffel's symmetrical Art Deco designs. The image as a negative, a result of the wood cutting technique, is combined with a radically subjective view of a ragged landscape, reflecting the experience of constriction and disorientation.
