The image displays a blend of sweeping, dark curves and lines that overlap various forms, creating an abstract composition. Vague outlines in the form of curving shapes may resemble familiar objects like a vintage car with a visible grille and headlamps, alongside a figure that seems to lean against the side of the vehicle. Within another part of the image, the profile of a person appears as they look out a window similarly presented in a mixture of shadowy swirls and indistinct shapes. The composition is a combination of textures that evoke imagery akin to photographic collages.
