The image shows soft swirling forms and subtle lines in a pale blue hue. The abstract arrangement resembles a figure engaged in an activity resembling paddling. The pale color distills the figure down to basic outlines and shapes, evoking the idea of a person seated with a raised oar over their shoulder. The surrounding abstract landscape suggests water and foliage.
