Three irregular black shapes are connected by thin, colorful lines. The lines form a loose, triangular pattern. A blue line connects the top two black shapes, a red line joins the two shapes on the right, and a yellow line bridges the shapes at the bottom. The black shapes resemble clouds or silhouettes of stones, while the lines give the impression of electrical wires or strings. The neutral background highlights the shapes and lines.
