Dressed in Black

The image shows a book page with printed text overlaid by a large charcoal sketch of an Asian person's face. The face, drawn in bold, expressive strokes, dominates the page, with features like eyes, nose, and hair clearly defined. The sketch creates a striking contrast against the text background, giving the impression of a portrait. Certain words are emphasized by square outlines, forming a found poem.
