ARTWORK > Secret Codewords of the NSA

Woodblock print by Annie Bissett depicting a secret code word of the NSA called blackpearl
BLACKPEARL
Japanese woodblock (mokuhanga)
6" x 6" (15.24 x 15.24 cm)

B is for blackpearl.

Blackpearl is an “NSA tool or database.” Pretty vague, but the idea of a round black object made me think of those black dome-like covers for security cameras.
