The image features a large circular shape bordered by a roughly outlined rectangle. Intersecting lines and bold strokes crisscross the canvas, creating a pattern. The arrangement of shapes can be likened to a clock face or a simplified map with routes and intersections. The abstraction prompts the viewer to draw connections to familiar objects despite the lack of definitive form.
