The image consists of swirling lines and shapes in an abstract arrangement. At the center is a red vertical form with curving tendrils branching outwards. On each side are two bulbous shapes in blue and orange. Below the central form is a blue rectangular band with interlocking triangles, and two abstract forms extending from the bottom. The design blends natural and ornamental elements.
