The image displays bold vertical and wavy lines with contrasting patterns. In the upper part, there is an abstract composition of stars and stripes using blue, red, and white colors. Two silhouette profiles face each other in the foreground, made of abstract shapes with a dot and wave pattern filling the interior. The elements create a familiar but abstract depiction, with the outlines of the profiles emerging against the American flag background.
