Clapping Game takes a more inclusive and personal approach. The action snippets depicted in this painting are broad and not limited to a specific location; rather, they represent a game that are widely enjoyed worldwide. However, this painting incorporates Lake Peipus (the largest lake in Estonia, on the border to Russia) and pays homage to Estonian art history. Jüris drew inspiration from Aili Vint's colour schemes and incorporated elements of Ülo Sooster's forms from his painting “Lips” (clapping hands form together a shape resembling clams = lips = female anatomy = flowers). More so, Jüris aimed to infuse a microscopic dimension, forming the wave-like shapes so that not only would they resemble water, but also plant cell patterns.
