The image shows an abstract square design composed of symmetrical shapes and lines. Diagonal lines and curved elements radiate from a central point, creating a pattern. The use of red and green colors forms a dynamic visual effect. The shapes resemble curled fern fronds or plant forms spiraling outwards. Each corner of the square houses semi-circular motifs. The design is bordered by a zigzag pattern.
