In this print, the backlit figure\u2019s crouched position, narrow eyes, and hollow chest emphasize his exhaustion. The dramatic lighting around the man likewise suggests that his work has created a sense of separation between him and the rest of society. Mora saw printmaking as a way to share social issues, such as the plight of the working poor, with a broader audience and to initiate political change.",
