This image is from a series entitled "Poems of Desolation." Laughlin states on the caption label: "In the wall of the shattered building, appears the image of the avatar of destruction - the strange and terrible creature which broods over the ruin to come - the image cast from the minds of men into visible form. A number of strange spacial relationships and disassociations appear in this print."
