The image displays a series of curved and straight lines creating an abstract pattern. A vibrant, arcing rainbow with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple bands dominates the center. Below the rainbow, there are abstract renditions of human forms in dynamic action, including a figure riding a chariot pulled by horses and another reaching up towards the arc. Surrounding the figures are swirling, cloud-like shapes. Orange circular shapes are scattered throughout the scene.
