The image consists of bold vertical lines alternating between red and white, resembling the American flag. Two profiles facing each other create a silhouette resembling a vase or goblet in the center. Stars in a blue rectangle add to the flag-like imagery. A face is defined by black and gray stripes, contrasting with the rest of the composition. Smooth lines at the bottom transform into a wavy pattern, suggesting movement or water.
