The image shows bold, curved lines forming a symmetrical shape, like an hourglass or butterfly wings, bisected by a straight vertical line. Light and dark contrast is used, with white streaks and patches against a dark background. The shapes and textures evoke natural elements, similar to a seed cross-section or a split shell.
