The image shows palm trees with gracefully arching fronds, silhouetted against a blank sky. The horizon is implied above the base of the tree trunks. The trees are depicted in an etching style with fine, linear brushstrokes defining the trunks and leaves. The color scheme is monochrome, predominantly black and white, emphasizing the details of the palm leaves against the pale background.

In the center of this brown form, there is a square cut-out revealing layered fabric in white, blue, and yellow.

The sculpture consists of a rectangular, flat object as the main focal point. The object has a rough texture and earth-toned color, appearing to be made from a natural material. It is suspended on the wall by a string at the top, connecting it to two upper hooks. Below, there is a horizontal rod, possibly made from bamboo or a similar material. This rod is connected to the main piece by three pairs of thin strings forming triangular shapes. The sculpture presents a blend of geometric simplicity and natural materials, suggesting a balance and tension between the elements involved.
