You see a simple black flower on a white background, drawn with thick, wobbly lines. The other side shows the same flower, but upside-down. Baechler made this print so you can flip it—like a playing card. The flower feels both childlike and careful, as if it’s about to tip over. It’s not trying to look perfect, just honest.
