There are sharp angular shapes intersecting with one another in this abstract image. There is a large lavender triangle on the left side meeting a smaller black triangle at the top. A brown shape dominates the right side, resembling an arrow or mountain. In the bottom right corner, there is a small white triangle for balance. These forms may evoke puzzle pieces fitting together or modern architecture.
