A collection of geometric shapes, many painted a single color, are arranged on a background painted to look like wood grain in this abstract vertical composition. A silvery gray, upside down, wide L shape fills most of the upper half to our right of center. On it, a rose-pink square is attached to an ivory-white rectangle suggestive of a handle, and a black triangle with a similar handle sits on the L form to our left. A rectangular piece of corrugated silver metal is tucked into the corner of the L shape. A black circle, a white conical form, and a curving, sage-green piece create a row from right to left down into the lower left corner of the composition.
