Combining figurative and abstract elements, this print explores the theme of concealment and visual ambiguity. Kurosaki layers geometric color planes over or alongside human figures, creating zones where representation dissolves into abstraction—the figures become partially absorbed by their formal surroundings, their outlines interrupted by competing geometric fields. This approach reflects Kurosaki's interest in the tension between legibility and erasure, a conceptual concern that recurs across his mature work. The woodblock technique reinforces the theme: multiple carved blocks build up overlapping layers of ink, each pass potentially obscuring or modifying what lies beneath. The title's sequential numbering suggests this belongs to an ongoing investigation rather than an isolated composition, with each iteration pushing the camouflage logic further toward pure formal dissolution.
