This drypoint print explores the domestication of the tortoise, placing a juvenile tortoise in the same space as a playful dog and a tossed ball. The light, sketch-like lines and soft blue tones give the scene an innocent feel, yet the composition hints at how human environments and pets reshape a tortoise’s world. By pairing the animal with familiar domestic imagery, the piece reflects how tortoises are often folded into our homes and routines in ways that blur the line between care, control, and unintended impact.
