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. Crafted from eco-friendly bamboo with a glossy printed surface and made to order, hand wash only. A coffee table platter, entryway catchall, or breakfast-in-bed carrier that carries an independent artist's work, not a store-shelf print.
