Hard-edged, vertical lines of equal widths march across this square, abstract painting. More black and dark-colored lines are along the left third and right quarter of the composition, and the area in between has more electric and indigo blue, scarlet red, lavender purple, and lime green lines, among other colors.

The image contains a variety of simple, delicate lines and shapes. At the top is a blue and orange outlined figure with a circular element drawn with overlapping lines. Below it, there is an angular shape outlined in light orange tapering to a point. Two loosely colored shapes, one in green and one in a combination of green and yellow, resemble abstract interpretations of shoes or feet. In the bottom right corner, there is a small, jagged black shape resembling a leaf or scrunched piece of fabric.
