The image comprises intersecting straight lines and circular shapes, and an abstract arrangement of forms. A vertical black line is notable, resembling a ladder. Various circular swirls are scattered throughout. The silhouette of a person is enclosed in a rectangular frame in the lower section, overlaid with geometric shapes such as circles intersected by triangles. Next to it, the outline of a duck-like figure is visible. Geometric forms are merged with recognizable objects in the artwork.
