The image contains various angular and curved shapes, along with vertical and horizontal lines. There is a structure resembling a brick building with a chimney-like form, and figures engaging in different activities. The background includes forms resembling skyscrapers. One figure seems to be climbing a step or platform, while another appears to be working or conversing. At the bottom, there is a curved, elongated shape that could be perceived as a dachshund dog.
