Description

A two-panel composition in stark black-and-white woodblock printing, each side depicting crowds of people sheltering beneath vaulted, arched ceilings resembling a subway or tunnel station. The left panel shows uniformed figures standing near a group of seated and reclining people on benches, while the right panel presents a denser mass of bodies lying and huddled together across the floor. William Evertson's 2022 color woodblock print renders the scene entirely in high-contrast black and white, with the architectural arches and crowded figures built from bold, graphic shapes.
