A halftone portrait in profile overlays a layered urban facade on a 200 × 150 cm metal plate, the entire image bitten into the surface through acid etching that leaves the rust-toned metal as both ground and pigment. Architectural fragments and the figure dissolve into one another across the corroded field, registering Vhils's excavation of the city as the same gesture that reveals the face.
