The composition has curving lines and intersecting shapes creating a complex network on the canvas. There are dark and light patches that evoke the impression of ribbons flowing over and under each other. Some areas resemble abstract, bulbous shapes. The background is a textured, darkened plane that adds depth to the intertwined forms.
