This painting features a large, bright orange curved shape on the right side of the canvas. On the left side, there are two thin vertical lines stacked on top of each other. On the top is a green line, and below it is a dark purple line. Outside of these shapes is blank, off-white paper. The edges of the shapes are rough, and the paint has been applied unevenly, creating variations in tone within the shapes.
