The image is divided into two sections. On the left, there are intricate shapes and lines in muted greens, pinks, and yellows forming abstract geometric forms. Curved and angular lines suggest a reclining figure. The right section features darker tones with curvilinear, linear, and jagged lines in vibrant yellows and blues against a black background, resembling a dynamic, flowing form similar to a horse in motion.
