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 dishwasher-safe stainless steel and made to order, sized to fit a standard bottle and keep it cool for hours, with the artwork wrapped around the outside. It holds the centerpiece of the table and doubles as an independent artist's work.
