The image shows geometric shapes and outlines, with a linear figure resembling a human form on the left. There are intersecting lines and patterns creating a sense of complexity. Among the shapes, there is a brick wall pattern and what looks like a ladder or railing. On the right, there is a circular motif resembling a sphere or celestial body, with a skeletal hand reaching towards it. A seahorse and a partial face are also present in the design.
