About this work

This print shows a small rabbit-like figure standing under two giant, abstract shapes that look like curved umbrellas or sails. The background is full of jagged black lines and rough textures, with a few white flowers or plants peeking in at the top. The rabbit holds something small in its hands, and the whole scene feels dreamy and a bit off-kilter. The artist used a mix of smooth and rough lines to create contrast, almost like the shapes are floating or melting. The print looks like it was made using a process that layers ink and paper in a precise way. Try looking up lithography to see how this kind of printmaking works.
