Vertical stripes in cream and deep red form two distinct checkerboard patterns that stack and interlock across the composition, creating a rhythmic, almost architectural quality. The palette alternates between warm and cool tones, producing a dynamic optical effect that shifts between foreground and background as the eye moves across 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.
