This piece is a minimalist mosaic of lilac lines meticulously drawn across a pale canvas. The subtle variance in pressure and spacing creates a gentle optical illusion, giving the artwork a soft, textile-like texture. The uniformity of the lines suggests a meditative calm, a deliberate and careful application that offers a sense of tranquility. This artwork embodies a whisper of simplicity, a tranquil echo that brings a soothing presence to any space it inhabits. It's a celebration of the understated, where less speaks more, and the faintest strokes convey a profound visual poetry.

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.
