The print features a creepy owl with an unblinking gaze and a wide, toothy grin. Beneath it, the phrase reads, «Smile back. It matters.» The polite request sounds almost like a threat, transforming the somber character into an absurd meme.

Against the black t-shirt, the owl’s light face will sharply stand out against the fabric, while its dark outlines and beak will partially blend in. This effect makes the owl seem to emerge from the darkness. The large placement centered on the chest unites the image and the caption into a single vertical composition: the eye is first drawn to the smile, then it reads the phrase, which alters the initial impression of the character.
