The image shows a large rectangular black shape in the center with various textured lines and shading. Surrounding the central shape are smaller black marks and squiggles scattered across the background. Above the rectangle is a long, horizontal stroke. The arrangement of lines and shapes could be likened to a rough landscape or a blackboard with chalk marks.
