A larger version (171 x 171 mm) of this work was published as a portfolio. The miniature uses the same text and imagery and is digitally produced rather than hand printed.

The abstract use of colors and painted letters surpasses the text. In its miniature form, it offers an aperitif to Zednik’s artistry with color and shape, which can be found on her site.
