The image displays a composition of geometric shapes and lines. There is a large rectangular form serving as the backdrop. Within the artwork, there is a prominent orange and beige segment resembling a fragmented leaf with scattered linear patterns and circular imprints. Above this, there is a shape reminiscent of a kite with intersecting lines and gentle curves hovering subtly. These forms give the impression of a mechanical flower or a collage of floating paper pieces through their overlapping arrangement.
