This dynamic, abstract print by Yoshida Chizuko suggests the movement of water. The undulating lines in the embossed background are reminiscent of waves while the variously shaped circular forms that populate the central pink semi-circular shape appear like fizzy bubbles. Yoshida does not directly represent water but rather captures the impression of it through shape, line, and color.
