A flower on a mostly blue background, surrounded by a double rectangular frame that follows the edges of the sheet. Positioned at the center of the sheet, the flower has nine petals and has fine lines and orange circles radiating from its center.
This print was created during an artist-in-residency at Mishkenot Sha Ananim, Jerusalem, Israel. Arriving during a period of war, Rudy Pozzatti was struck by both the region's beauty and its hardships, which he expressed in the metaphor "a passion flower among thorns."
