The image displays a pair of black wooden panels with abstract compositions. The left panel consists of rectangles, a circular element with a hole in the center, and curved lines resembling a clock face. The right panel has circular shapes, vertical and horizontal rectangles, and curved lines that suggest abstract humanoid figures or machine parts. The monochromatic treatment unifies the piece and adds an enigmatic quality.
