The image features a composition dominated by the shape of a rectangle divided into a grid-like pattern of alternating lines and punctuated with small stars. In an abstract representation, the upper rectangle displays a flag-like design with a red-orange square filled with dark stars on the left, paired with horizontal green and black stripes filling the remainder of the rectangle. Below it, another rectangle, more subdued and monochromatic, mirrors the same flag pattern in shades of gray and taupe.
