The image portrays a composition of rectangular sections overlapping and extending across the fabric. The abstract arrangement shows a white animal in the upper-left section, above which there is a row of newspaper clippings. Below, figures wearing patterned clothes are depicted alongside symmetric, pointed shapes resembling lungs. The lower part contains faded comic-strip panels and pyramidal shapes, demarcated by soft lines. The visual elements resemble pages from a scrapbook forming a tapestry-like design.
