A checkerboard pattern in warm browns, tans, and cream shifts and warps across the composition as if viewed through rippling water, creating a hypnotic optical illusion. The squares appear to undulate and twist, their edges bending inward and outward, generating a sense of movement and depth that challenges the flatness of the surface. Printed on clear acrylic and made to order in two sizes. A serving piece for the dinner party or a pop of color as a kitchen accent, carrying an independent artist's work instead of a big-box print.
