In Black Hole, De la Cruz explores the tension between flat graphic design and the perception of three-dimensional space. The work relies on a series of precise, repeating lines that narrow toward a central point, simulating a gravitational pull that feels both scientific and emotive. By stripping away color, the artist focuses entirely on the interplay of light and shadow, using high-contrast boundaries to define a horizon that seems to stretch far beyond the square frame.

The composition functions as a study in visual communication, where the simplicity of the design anchors the kinetic energy of the lines. There is a deliberate weight to the black ink against the white negative space, suggesting a powerful entity emerging from the void. It is a piece that rewards close looking, revealing how subtle shifts in line weight can generate a convincing illusion of motion and structural depth.
