There is an abstract design with bold geometric shapes and lines. In the center, there are two silhouette profiles resembling faces, filled with an animal print pattern. This is intersected with an abstract interpretation of the American flag, with blue stars on one side and red and white stripes on the other. The design blends the flag motif with abstract art elements.
