The image contains a variety of simple, delicate lines and shapes. At the top is a blue and orange outlined figure with a circular element drawn with overlapping lines. Below it, there is an angular shape outlined in light orange tapering to a point. Two loosely colored shapes, one in green and one in a combination of green and yellow, resemble abstract interpretations of shoes or feet. In the bottom right corner, there is a small, jagged black shape resembling a leaf or scrunched piece of fabric.
