Nostalgia of Kyoto

The abstract artwork presents a complex interplay of geometric and organic shapes, primarily in earthy tones such as browns, beiges, and muted blues. These shapes overlap and intersect, creating a dynamic texture across the print. Dark, angular forms dominate the composition, with lighter, more fluid shapes woven throughout, adding depth and contrast.
