About this work

This image shows a woman in a blue swimsuit kneeling on a light background. Around her, there are floating hands in pink and blue, reaching toward her from the edges. The woman’s pose is relaxed, with one arm stretched out and her head tilted back slightly. The hands around her feel like they’re touching or almost touching her, but they’re not quite connected. The whole scene has a dreamy, slightly surreal quality. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
