The image displays a repeating pattern of elongated, vertical oval shapes in varying shades of blue and white. The arrangement creates a visual rhythm akin to a wall of cylindrical columns or overlapping brushstrokes. The shapes overlap with varied transparency, resembling the texture of a watercolor painting, evoking gentle waves or a field of vertical stones stacked closely together.
