His work combines matter, signs, and symbols, often with strong spiritual and political meaning. He used humble materials (sand, marble dust, paper, fabrics) and graphic signs to create dense, evocative, and tactile surfaces.
At the top center of this graphic, a three-dimensional element stands out: a rope imprinted on the paper. At the bottom are two letters: "A" and "B." Between them, suspension points connect the two letters. The work is created using etching, aquatint, and carborundum printing techniques: a technique used to create a relief matrix that, through pressure, transfers ink to the paper, producing an image with distinctive textures and tones.
The sheet measures 58.5 x 78 cm and with the frame 64 x 83 x 5.5 cm. The signature is present at the bottom right, and the edition number 34/75 is present at the left.

The condition is very good, with only minor wear due to age and use. The sheet is mounted at the four corners on a rigid cardboard panel and shows slight three-dimensional deformations. This piece has an attribution mark,
