The image showcases bold, thick black lines outlining large, flat shapes against a background of diagonal blue and white stripes. The shapes resemble lotus-like flowers with pointed petals outlined in black, alongside leafy forms. The floral elements feature a pattern of red dots on yellow, evoking pop art styles. The artwork integrates textures and colors to play with abstraction and representation, suggesting familiar objects such as flowers and leaves in a garden.
