The image features bold, angular shapes and lines that overlap or intersect. Thick black lines and curves form abstract compositions that may resemble stylized letterforms or a deconstructed numeral. A reddish-brown diagonal shape suggests a tilted rectangular form. A large curved black shape on the right evokes an uppercase letter 'E' or 'P'.
