Overall:

The image is a black and white photograph featuring a graphic composition centered on a wall. It's a stark and bold composition with strong contrasts. The overall presentation suggests a print or artwork framed with a white border.

Main Features:

  • Markings on a Dark Surface: Dominating the left side is a large, white "X" or cross-like shape painted or marked onto a very dark, likely black, surface. The surface seems to be a brick wall.

Additional Details
