The artwork consists of linear and rectangular shapes intersected by a diagonal line, with a circular form within the composition. The vertical and horizontal lines suggest structural forms, while the circular shape could represent a sun or moon. The scene hints at a seaside pier with steps leading upward and timber posts supporting the structure.
