Description
A large luminous white sphere resembling a full moon glows against a deep indigo-blue ground, set within a lighter rectangular panel with faint vertical striations suggesting a beam of light. Below, pale outlined circular and cluster forms—rendered in thin white linework—drift across the lower third of the composition like bubbles or cellular shapes rising through the dark field. The sheet has deckled, irregular edges characteristic of handmade paper. *Effervescence*, by Sarah Brayer, is executed in poured washi with phosphorescent pigments.
