The artwork features overlapping shapes and lines with a mix of angular and curved elements. In this abstract composition, there are shapes resembling elongated limbs and subtle silhouettes that might hint at human figures. The colors used are green and red. The elements create a sense of movement, with lines crisscrossing in a manner reminiscent of a figure draped over an angular surface.
