1946

The image depicts overlapping geometric shapes, primarily triangles and rectangles arranged in a structured layout. It features a bold contrast of black, white, gray, and vibrant blue hues. The arrangement of shapes suggests a fragmented, three-dimensional structure. The sharp angles and intersecting lines create a stylized interpretation of a human figure. The use of solid colors and strong outlines enhances the abstract quality of the composition.

Diagonal and curved lines intersect sections resembling slices of a pie chart.
