This painting shows geometric shapes and intersecting lines that suggest a group of people in a fractured view. Angular planes suggest faces and limbs, with colorful shapes that could be clothing. In the center, shapes form the vague appearance of a person in a light blue shirt with light brown skin holding a brown oval. Other people seem to reach towards this person, with disembodied hands pointing towards the center of the painting. At the bottom of the painting, several sets of legs and feet are visible. At the top, white curving shapes could indicate smoke or clouds.
