The image depicts an abstract composition. A large shadowy silhouette of a human figure is on the left side against a background of green rectangular brick-like shapes. The right side of the artwork features different sections with various textures, including swirling lines and zigzag patterns resembling leaf shapes and tree branches at the top. Below, there are patterned blocks and objects resembling furniture elements such as cushions or flooring. Additionally, the image includes a photograph-like section with a portrait similar to the Mona Lisa and a large circular basin or dish with a skeletal hand reaching towards it.
