There is an abstract image with a square made up of four smaller squares, each filled with closely spaced parallel lines oriented vertically, horizontally, diagonally downwards to the right, and diagonally upwards to the right. The pattern resembles woven textile or patchwork. The intersecting lines create an abstract representation, reminiscent of a checkerboard or minimalist art.
