  • The image shows a large, sweeping arc of green pigment forming an almost complete circle, with a splash of paint trailing off towards the right.

Positioned near the lower right edge of the circular form is a small illustration of a fly. The drips also spell out the word "arp" in a playful, fluid manner.
