Description
A single figure lies on their back atop a low, castellated stone wall, head tilted skyward with one arm crossed over the chest, rendered in white against the dark grey stone. Above stretches a vast, textured black sky holding one small pale moon or star near the top edge; a few round shapes (helmets or heads of others) peek along the wall's edge on either side of the reclining figure. The palette is almost entirely black, grey, and white, giving the scene a still, nocturnal quiet. Akihiro Misaki, "Silent Prayer," 2011, lithograph.
