Created as a design for Erik Svedäng’s card game Slice & Dice, this work utilizes the raw, unpredictable nature of monoprinting to explore the theme of invisibility. Troshinsky’s use of ink creates a high-contrast landscape where the human form becomes an ambiguous silhouette, suggesting a character who is both present and unseen. The grainy textures characteristic of the monoprint process lend the image a historical quality, as if it were a recovered fragment of a lost myth.

The composition balances the weight of the ink against the negative space, creating a sense of transcendence where the subject seems to slip through the cracks of reality. By focusing on the metaphorical journey of a figure fading from view, Troshinsky avoids literal transparency in favor of a more psychological interpretation. The result is a piece that feels like an allegory for the hidden parts of the self, rendered with a gritty, tactile hand.
