Dense Caption

The image displays a black background populated by small green pixelated dots distributed throughout. Three horizontal rows of identical white text reading 'solus via' are positioned centrally; each row contains four instances of the phrase. A solid light gray rectangular shape occupies the lower-right corner, extending vertically from approximately two-thirds down the height to the bottom edge and spanning about one-eighth of the width from the right edge inward. The green dots vary in density across different areas of the background.
