The image features various overlapping shapes and lines. There is a large black and white photograph of a cow's head at the top, along with a grid of newspaper clippings. Below this, abstract shapes include a circular form with a symmetrical wing-like pattern inside. Surrounding these elements are two halves of a portrait of an individual in a green hue. Towards the bottom, there are triangular shapes resembling pyramids superimposed onto a cracked earth texture.
