The image features a composition of swirling lines and zigzag patterns. A figure resembling a mannequin or doll with exaggerated features is centrally placed, including swirling hair and a geometric pattern on its body. The limbs appear disconnected, giving a marionette-like impression. Surrounding the figure are various rectangular and curved shapes, possibly resembling architectural constructs. Another figure, depicted with angular shoulders, arms crossed, and partially obscured eyes, is present. Additionally, brick-like patterns, bird figures, and cloud formations made of curved lines are visible. The setting conveys an abstract landscape where familiar objects blend into a dreamlike collage.
