Interlocking yin yang symbols repeat across a bold black and white checkerboard ground, creating a mesmerizing optical illusion that shifts between figure and ground. The monochromatic palette and geometric precision give the composition a hypnotic, almost kinetic energy that rewards sustained looking. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
