The image is a square composition filled with irregular shapes and splatters of contrasting dark and light tones. The blotches and smears within the square resemble patches of unevenly distributed paint or ink, suggestive of a weathered wall. The forms evoke the appearance of a map, with darker areas resembling land masses and lighter areas suggesting bodies of water or skies, while remaining abstract.
