DescriptionInk blots in varying shades of black congregate in two amorphous shapes in the print, one lower left, and one upper right. From their splatters, speech bubbles lend the ink voices. Inside the bubbles, printed in various fonts, are quotes from literature. Many reference Blackness or seem to be addressing a Black character from their respective texts.
