The image shows diagonal lines slicing the canvas to form elongated triangles. A collage of vibrant colors and textures creates an abstract piece resembling an eye and facial features. The eye has a vivid blue iris peering through overlapping stripes. The blend of colors adds depth, like layers of a landscape through a fragmented lens. Shapes and colors combine to create a familiar yet abstract composition.
