The image features two rectangular forms with delicate lines and dots. The left rectangle has a dark, filled-in appearance with lighter dots scattered uniformly across it. Its edges are bordered with irregular, jagged lines. The right rectangle has a lighter, textured background with scattered purple and black splotches. Surrounding linear elements create a sense of movement around the rectangles.
