The image shows a series of thin, elongated rectangles radiating from a central point, forming a spiky, fan-like shape. Within the rectangles are fragments of a map with various markings, grid lines, and text labels indicating geographic details. The abstract composition resembles shredded paper pieces coming together to form an irregular shape reminiscent of a fish or burst of rays. The artwork is on a cream-colored background.
