Description
A single large leaf fills the composition, its outline enclosing a network of black branching veins radiating from a stem at the base. The leaf's interior is divided into patchwork zones of color — bright green and yellow-green across the center and right, orange and olive on the left, with pale blue, lavender, and white patches along the upper and outer edges — set against a flat grey background. *Brazilian Rainforest*, a color woodcut by Hiroki Morinoue, 2018.
