This artwork offers a visual representation of rhythm and movement through a series of monochrome brushstrokes. The stark black marks sway and vary in density across the white canvas, creating a sense of organized chaos. Some strokes are solid and bold, while others are mere whispers of color, giving the impression of a musical score in visual form. The patterns created by the differing pressures of the brushwork provide a dynamic texture that seems to pulsate with a life of its own. This piece encapsulates the beauty of simplicity and the complexity of pattern, making it a striking addition to any modern space that values the interplay of shadow and light.

The majority of Vera's original artwork is unsigned and undated. This absence of her signature is largely due to her original artwork being used in textile and houseware designs, where her trademarked signature was later added. Typically, her original artwork was named after being incorporated into a master strike off. In some instances, the date of the piece was added to the back; however, this date may signify when the artwork was trademarked or presented to a customer. Some of her original pieces include notes on the back, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of The Vera Company.
