Elements to notice

• Central turtle figure — stylised form with patterned carapace and flippers
• Shell patterns — concentric curved strokes in blue, yellow, red, white symbolising reef currents and growth
• Four black-outlined tracks — stylised turtle footprints representing movement to/from nesting beach
• Strong black outline — graphic clarity typical of lino printing
• Use of colour layering — multiple ink passes to build depth and vibrancy

Technique notes
Hand-carved linocut, printed in multiple colours with careful registration; patterns carved into plate for shell detail; editioned print (9/10 as visible in bottom-left corner).

Teaching message
Look after the turtle and it will return — respect the journey and the place where it began.
