The image displays irregular, abstract shapes and lines interconnected and overlapping vertically. Diagonal and horizontal lines create striped patterns within the shapes. Some formations suggest recognizable silhouettes like a face or a landscape. The use of shading and striping adds a layered feel to the composition.
