In this artwork, a playful geometry takes flight across a serene expanse. On one side, delicate blue triangles in varied hues seem to drift like kites caught in a gentle breeze, their edges tinged with a watercolor softness. The other half presents a contrasting scene: meticulous vertical lines, undulating rhythmically as if whispering secrets to each other. Tiny dots punctuate this conversational piece, creating a sense of quiet movement across the canvas. Together, the composition is one of balance and beauty, a harmonious interplay between the structured and the spontaneous, the calm and the dynamic. It's an invitation to meditate on the delicate dance of form and space.

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.
