This print shows a dark, shadowy figure sitting in a chair with their head resting on their hand. Above them, a swarm of small blue birds fills the air, some flying, some tangled together. The background is mostly black, with the birds standing out against it. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to create a quiet, dreamlike scene. The birds seem to float around the person’s head, almost like they’re part of a lullaby. If you like this style, look up Kaido, Chiharu for more of her work.
