This painting showcases a composition of overlapping geometric shapes including rectangles, triangles, and irregular polygons. The shapes are mostly in shades of soft blues, greens, and grays, with a few patches of tan and brown. The shapes have soft edges, some blending together. The collection vaguely resembles a landscape seen from above, similar to an aerial view of fields or a coastline.
