This is a painting of a patterned fabric. The fabric is looped around itself and tied into a knot, as if someone is wearing it around their neck. The top part of the fabric includes a combination of light blue and patterned white sections. The patterns are abstract, with small black dots and geometric shapes in pink, yellow, and blue against the off-white background. The tails of the knot feature a diagonal floral design with small blue and pink flowers. The background of the painting is blank paper.
