The image contains a series of curved and straight lines forming an abstract composition. There is a large, yellow, ear-like shape in the center with a crosshatched pattern on it. Above, black and white concentric lines form a pattern, while a spiral within a white space suggests an eye. The bottom half of the image is divided into horizontal bands of color—red, yellow, blue, and purple.
