A checkerboard of soft blue and white squares undulates and warps across the composition, creating the optical illusion of a surface twisting inward like a vortex. The geometric pattern maintains its cool, pastel palette while the deliberate distortion generates a hypnotic, gently disorienting mood that draws the eye toward the center. 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.
