Linocut block print depicting an enormous folded instruction leaflet becoming a steep staircase, with one crucial step missing and small bootprints stopping at the gap. The staircase climbs diagonally through the lower two-thirds against generous cream space; hard light from the upper left creates unprinted highlights and dense indigo shadows, using indigo as the sole ink on cream paper. Bold contours, white gouge slivers, visible paper grain and uneven hand-pressed coverage surround the carved headline 'THE MISSING STEP' across the upper third, with 'TEST THE INSTRUCTIONS' beneath it. No signature or edition numbering; 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper
