The image is a vertical composition containing various shapes and lines converging toward the center. At the top, there are round and triangular abstract shapes against a blue background, with star-like fragments scattered across. In the central panel, there is a collage of overlapping forms, including what appears to be stylized interpretations of warning signs and skeletal imagery. Two large shadowy figures resembling silhouettes of human forms stand on either side of the central section.
