The image shows intersecting linear shapes and forms of varying widths dominating the composition against a textured background of earthy tones. Disembodied hands and pieces of faces are positioned along and around the lines, with the hands appearing to grasp them. Numbers and patches of color are present on the ends of the lines, ranging from deep reds, greens, and purples.
