The image shows a series of parallel blue lines rising vertically and curving at their base. The lines converge downward and expand outward towards the floor, resembling cascading water or a waterfall. Shapes suggestive of fabric or a curtain are formed. Handwritten notes are visible in the upper right side, including the words "Large Flora Neon."
