This striking pen and watercolour illustration captures a tender moment between two zebras, their faces gently touching, their black and white stripes mirroring and blending into one another. The interplay of ink and soft wash creates a visual harmony that speaks of unity, reflection, and deep emotional connection. Each line and curve of the zebra’s coat is rendered with care, not only to show the form but also to emphasize the idea of duality and sameness—two beings that are distinct, yet intrinsically connected.

Paired with the poignant quote "The best mirror is an old friend," the artwork takes on a deeper, soulful meaning. In the zebra’s reflection within the other, we see the wisdom and comfort of enduring friendship—a companion who sees us clearly, even when we can’t. The piece becomes a celebration of that rare bond where identity and empathy intertwine, where familiarity offers clarity, and where love and trust are effortlessly understood.
