The image is composed of bold strokes in orange, brown, and black hues, forming undefined shapes that merge. This abstract depiction resembles a seated figure with arms resting on chair arms and legs extending downward. The central form is enclosed within a shadowy backdrop. — Untitled from Folder (vol. 1, no. 1)
