This print features a collection of geometric shapes, primarily rectangles and trapezoids, in shades of brown, gray, tan, black, and white. They are layered on top of one another, with some stacked horizontally and others standing vertically. The print is covered in small dots that give texture to the different shapes and provide some variation in color. A thin white line runs horizontally through the center of the print, dividing it into two sections.
